In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

... For more distant stars we must use other techniques. ... Hence if we see a distant galaxy and can pick out any cepheids lying within it, we can calculate its distance. ... Here then is another method to gauge the size of the Universe and there are yet more. volume at high enough temperature a nuclear fusion reaction sweeps across the white dwarf's surface and eventually we will see a spectacularly bright new star (hence nova) in our skies. ... Why is this relevant to the size of the Universe? ...

... In collaboration with Drs Van Genderen (Leiden, Holland) and Sterken (Brussels, Belgium) papers XV and XVI in the series `Light Variations of Massive Stars' were published. These dealt with the brightness variations of several massive stars in the two nearest neighbour galaxies, namely six stars (R85, R99, R103, R110, R123 and R128) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and two (R42 and R45) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). ...

Similarly, for Full Frame and Extended Full Frame modes (currently) the 11 rows closest to the CAMEX are set bad onboard but sources in these rows may also cause unrecognized out-of-time events. ...

Galactic Spiral Structure in H I Emission and Self-Absorption S. J. Gibson (NAIC) H I Self-Absorption (HISA) occurs when cold H I lies in front of warmer H I emission (HIE) at the same radial velocity. The map and spectra AT LEF T show HISA in the Perseus spiral arm in the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS; Taylor et al. ... The basic components of the model are shown AT LEF T with all 3 types of CNM cells (shock-induced, local, ambient disk), but without lumpy dispersion in the velocity field. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

... The concept of continuous solar wind developed in 1950's. First, Biermann (1951, 1957) observed comet tails as they passed close to the Sun , and explained the observed tail deflection by a continuous flux of protons from the Sun. Then Parker (1959) showed that the solar corona must expand, and called the outward streaming coronal gas 'solar wind'. ... The expanding solar wind drags also the solar magnetic field outward, forming what is called the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) . ...

A New Radio Continuum Survey of the Sky at 1465 MHz between declinations 52 ф and +68 ф C. Tello et al.
