... Science Users Information > Science Activities > PhD Thesis Topics offered by ESO Faculty Members > Thesis Topic: Planetary Nebulae and HII regions in the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 5128 . ... NGC 5128 is the closest example of a giant early type (elliptical or S0) galaxy. Although often dubbed as a peculiar elliptical galaxy since it has a dust lane with recent star formation and an active galactic nucleus, the majority of early type galaxies have similar structures as revealed by recent surveys. ...

... Massive stars, having 10-150 masses of the Sun, with metallicities Z tens to hundreds times less than that of the Sun (Zo), are the main regulators of the galaxy formation and evolution processes in the early Universe. ... In this galaxy, using the 6 m BTA telescope, a new massive blue variable star with high luminosity (>=10 5 Sun's luminocities in visible light) was found. As far as its properties are concerned, this star falls into an LBV (Luminous Blue Variable) class of stars. ...

We present spatially resolved Spitzer Space Telescope imaging of the supergiant shell region of the M81 group dwarf galaxy IC 2574 obtained as part of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey. This region harbors one of the best nearby examples of a kinematically distinct H I shell, with an associated remnant stellar cluster; the shell is initiating sequential star formation as it interacts with the surrounding interstellar medium. ...

... We have mapped the 21-cm absorption in the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy NGC 1808 using the VLA AnB-hybrid array with a resolution of approx. 5.2" (= 275 pc). ... The velocity center of the absorption changes from about +120 km/s relative to the systemic velocity in the NW to -145 km/s in the SE, following the rotation pattern in the outer regions of the galaxy. ... The gravitational mass required to explain this fast rotation in the center of NGC 1808 is a few times 10^9 solar masses. ...

The problem of eXtremely-Metal Deficient (XMD) galaxy ages. ... Problem of ages of XMD galaxies is addressed through the comparison of colours of stars in their outer regions (where one can neglect the effect of recent star-formation activity), with model tracks of evolving stellar populations from, e.g., the popular package PEGASE.2 (Fioc Rocca-Volmerange 1999). For some of XMD galaxies, the contribution of nebular emission in the light of outer regions is negligible or invisible. ...

... July 13, 1996 . M81: A Bulging Spiral Galaxy . ... Explanation: Few stars are still forming in the old giant spiral galaxy M81. The blue regions in this picture - representing ultraviolet light - highlight regions of bright young stars and star formation and appear rare than in M74 and M33 . ... M81 is therefore classified as spiral galaxy type "Sab" on the Hubble Sequence of Galaxies . ... A massive density wave circulates around the center of spiral galaxies. ... About APOD | ...

... General information . ... Staff . ... Galaxies, AGN, Cosmology . ... SECCO1: an "almost-dark" dwarf galaxy . Models of galaxy formation and evolution within the Ю?-CDM paradigm can be tested against their predictions on the number and properties of dwarf galaxies and in particular stellar systems highly dominated by dark matter. ... The authors argue that the third possibility is the most likely one and hence SECCO1 would be a new faint dwarf galaxy residing in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. ...

It is especially hard to explain this process of star birth in some spiral galaxies. ... Targets include both star clusters and galaxies, and star formation rates seen range from the starburst galaxy M82 (the Cigar Galaxy) which is creating about ten new stars in its core alone every year to the much less fecund star producer NGC 2841. ...
