... Астронет | ... Переменные Звезды | ... Микролинзирование . ... На протяжении последних нескольких лет в рамках проекта MACHO проводятся наблюдения микролинзирования звезд Большого Магелланова Облака - спутника нашей Галактики.

Согласно некоторым гипотезам, линзами могут являться реликтовые черные дыры или "нейтралинные звезды". ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Deep imaging at J , H , and K is required to identify all stellar objects, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects in the central region of the Orion Nebula Cluster down to masses comparable to that of Jupiter. This is required to establish the initial mass function, i.e., the number of stars of each mass that have formed, in this region of intense massive star formation. ... The fields of the GSAOI detectors are shown as four green squares in each frame. ...

... 2004 April 14 . Massive Star Forming Region DR21 in Infrared . ... Explanation: Deep in the normally hidden recesses of giant molecular cloud DR21, a stellar nursery has been found creating some of the most massive stars yet recorded. The orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope 's Infrared Array Camera opened the window into the cloud last year in mid- infrared light. The cloud is opaque to visible light because of dense interstellar dust . ... About APOD | ...

... Resembling a gigantic hubcap in space, a 3,700 light-year-diameter dust disk encircles a 300 million solar-mass black hole in the center of the elliptical galaxy NGC 7052. ... Because the front end of the disk eclipses more stars than the back, it appears darker. ... Despite its size, the disk is 100 times less massive than the black hole. ... The bright spot in the center of the disk is the combined light of stars that have crowded around the black hole due to its strong gravitational pull. ...

Vermeulen et al. (2003): 33% of radioloud AGN (z < 0.8) show HI absorption features, more frequently (and more highly) blueshifted than redshifted. ... HI absorption against radioloud AGN traces a mixture of infall, outflow, and rotation; key fuel may be hot gas. ...

Astronotes Armagh Planetarium's Stellar Blog! ... Universe . ... About four centuries ago, a tiny white dwarf star about the same diameter as Earth, but with a mass equivalent to the Sun, swung in a tight orbit about some larger star. The white dwarfтАЩs intense gravity tore material from its more massive companion. ... The quantity of mass in the universe is constant since the universe started its last self-replication, since its last singularity, its last pre-big bang re-birth conception. ...

... According to the most popular cosmological paradigm, the greater part of the galaxy mass is accumulated in the dark matter halo. ... The polar ring galaxies (PRGs) reveal external rings or disks of gas, dust and stars rotating in a plane roughly perpendicular to the disk of the central galaxy. ... The shape of the dark halo in the model was chosen so as to achieve the best fit to the observed rotation of both galaxies themselves and their polar rings. ... The SPRC-7 galaxy. ...

3) Planets and Brown Dwarfs . ... By its nature, this method is most sensitive to massive planets orbiting close to their stars. ... That means that some of the more massive extrasolar planets could actually be brown dwarfs (although the statistics of the finds suggest that most of them are not). ... Another possible difference between brown dwarfs and massive planets is how they are born. ... They would base the fundamental definition on the mode of formation: a planet is built from planetesimals. ...

The integrated H I line flux, the characteristic widths of 21 cm line profile W 50 and W 20 (for a Hanning smoothing of 10.6 km s -1 ), and the derived H I mass for HS 0822+3542 are presented in Table 1 . The small H I mass 2.4 of this galaxy is consistent with its low optical luminosity. ... A rough estimation can be made also on the dynamical mass of HS 0822+3542. ...
