We report MIPS photometry of 20 radio-loud quasars and galaxies at 24 and 70 ЮМm (and of five at 160 ЮМm). We combine this sample with additional sources detected in the far-infrared by IRAS and ISO for a total of 47 objects, including 23 steep-spectrum type I AGNs: radio-loud quasars and broad-line radio galaxies; and 24 type II AGNs: narrow-line and weak-line FR II radio galaxies. ... Thus, the measurements at these wavelengths can be used to test the orientation-dependent unification model. ...

... 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"). ...

... 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. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...

... While space seems to be expanding at present (just as in our own universe), this expansion seems to be a recent phenomenon: in the past it appears to have been contracting. Data It is now clear that fuzzballs are actually galaxies. ... For the brightest fuzzballs, those from which we detect more than 100 photons per second, the pattern seems to match what we would expect. The fuzzball galaxies are indeed redshifted, and the fainter ones are more redshifted than the bright (nearby) ones. ...

... INSTRUMENT: SurveyCam FILTERS: Stromgren uvby, 2" square COMMENTS: remote observations are expected BRIEF SCIENCE JUSTIFICATION: Last decade numerous faint structures at the periphery of regular galaxies, as arcs, tails, or streams, have been discovered (see e.g. Martinez-Delgado et al., ... The broad-band photometry is used for observing the faint structures, but it does not allow to break the age-metallicity degeneracy efficiently. ...

... Previous: Substepping and its Application to HST Imaging . ... This is a preliminary report on an application of the co-addition technique based upon the Richardson-Lucy algorithm. The combination of high signal-to-noise ground-based images obtained with the ESO NTT using SUSI with high angular resolution HST FOC f/96 images gives new insights on the properties of galaxy cores and their potential time variability. Cores of galaxies are one of the main thrusts of present extragalactic research. ...
