... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

... The search for distant objects which can be both galaxies and quasars is one of the most important problems of observational astrphysics, because it allows one to determine cosmological parameters connected with the time of appearence and evolution of stellar systems, large scale structure of the Universe. ... Radio galaxies are important objects to be studied because they are sources of infrared-optical-ultraviolet continuum, emission lines and continual radio emission. ...

Type of Galaxies. taken from the Hubble Atlas of Galaxies. These galaxies display no bright blue stars like those in the spiral arms of Sb, Sc, Irr, SBb, and SBc galaxies. ... The smooth texture of the photographic image. ... SBa - Galaxies possesss a characteristic bar that is prominent and smooth in texture with no trace of resolution into knots or stars. ... SBb - These galaxies have a well defined bar structure which is smooth in texture with no hint of resolution into stars. ...

... 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"). ...

Giant radio galaxies constitute a class of radio sources with linear sizes on the megaparsec scale (Saripalli 1988). ... The Westerbork Northern Sky Survey (WENSS) has discovered several cases of "inner-double" or "double-double" giant radio galaxies: the findings suggest that such structures predominantly occur among the larger of radio galaxies. ... Close to the core of B0114-476, a narrow jet-like feature is seen directed toward the southern inner lobe which also has the brighter hotspots. ...

Search for the youngest galaxies and the problems of galaxy formation . During 2 last years of work on the search for new galaxies in the phase of first star formation (SF) burst there were carried out spectral observations of 39 blue compact galaxies (BCGs) - candidates to the most metal deficient unevolved galaxies. 23 of them indeed have appeared new metal-poor galaxies with the oxygen abundance (O/H) (as an indicator of chemical evolution) less than 1/10 of the solar value. ...

I-GALFA three-color H I image for FVW40.0+0.5, integrated over v lsr = -100 to -90 km/s ( red ), -90 to -80 km/s ( green ), and -80 to -70 km/s ( blue ). ... I-GALFA data reveal a complex tracery of loops, filaments, and blobs hundreds of parsecs above and below the Galactic plane, with isolated compact clouds extending even higher. ...

... STScI-PRC01-04 HUBBLE'S ULTRAVIOLET VIEWS OF NEARBY GALAXIES YIELD CLUES TO EARLY UNIVERSE Astronomers are using these three NASA Hubble Space Telescope images to help tackle the question of why distant galaxies have such odd shapes, appearing markedly different from the typical elliptical and spiral galaxies seen in the nearby universe. ... Light from these galaxies travels great distances (billions of light-years) to reach Earth. ... These stars emit mostly ultraviolet light. ...
