... December 13, 1997 . The Coma Cluster of Galaxies . ... The Coma Cluster of Galaxies pictured is one of the densest clusters known - it contains thousands of galaxies . Each of these galaxies house billions of stars - just as our own Milky Way Galaxy does. ... In fact, the Coma Cluster is so big it takes light millions of years just to go from one side to the other! Most galaxies in Coma and other clusters are ellipticals , while most galaxies outside of clusters are spirals . ...

... We have made observations of the Perseus cluster with the Westerbork Telescope at 610 MHz. ... Several newly detected sources are identified with cluster galaxies. ... No evidence is found for the existence of the previously reported ~ 65'x25' cluster halo, 3C 84B. Key words: radio galaxies - clusters - tailed radio sources buoyancy The Perseus Cluster of galaxies is one of the most fascinating systems accessible to extragalactic astronomers. ...

We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD student who is interested in working with us in using ALMACAL to address exciting and topical science questions related to the evolution of molecular gas in galaxies. ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...
