We present new images (ground-based optical and mid-infrared [MIR] from the Spitzer Space Telescope) and spectra (from Spitzer) of the archetypal starburst galaxy M82. The Spitzer data show that the MIR emission extends at least 6 kpc along the minor axis of the galaxy. ... The colors of the MIR emission and the spectra indicate that there is a strong component of aromatic feature emission (the MIR features commonly attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). ...

... 2006 April 14 . Smoke from the Cigar Galaxy . ... JPL , Caltech , NASA . Explanation: Very bright in infrared light , well-known starburst galaxy M82's popular name describes its suggestive shape seen at visible wavelengths - The Cigar Galaxy . Ironically, M82's fantastic appearance in this Spitzer Space Telescope image really is due to cosmic "smoke" - the infrared emission of exented dust features blown by stellar winds from M82's luminous, central star forming regions. ...

... Up: Other Galaxies with HI Previous: The peculiar galaxy NGC 4258: . The nearest and most prominent radio elliptical galaxy is NGC 5128 (Cen A). H I , OH, and H 2 CO absorption features have been detected near the systemic velocity of the galaxy (550 kms -1 ). ... Other radio elliptical galaxies detected in H I absorption are NGC 315, NGC 1275, NGC 3894, NGC 5363, 3C236, and 4C31.06, bringing the number of detections up to eight (van Gorkom et al. 1989, and references therein). ...
