... 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. ...

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. ...

... There are several explanations for these X--ray quiet PMS stars. To examine the explanations, it is proper to divide the PMS stars into three groups: those bluer than R - I = 0.7, those redder than the X--ray sources (R - I > 1.25) and those with colors similar to the X--ray sources. ... A total of 26 of the non--X--ray detected PMS candidates had spectra taken. ... Between V=14 and V=16, I find 25 stars which are X--ray sources and estimate 19 non--X--ray PMS stars. ...

Planetary nebulae are the remnants of low-to-middle mass stars. ... These so-called post-AGB stars are in an intermediate stage of evolution between the AGB and planetary nebulae. ... By studying the post-AGB stars we may be able to determine what causes the complicated structures seen in some planetary nebulae. To investigate this question, we have selected a well-defined sample of 86 post-AGB stars from a previous study of OH 1612-MHz maser sources in the Galactic plane (Sevenster et al., ...

Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...
