... In particular we searched for giant flares from nearby galaxies (~2--4 Mpc) M82, M83, NGC 253, and NGC 4945 in the BATSE data. No candidates alike giant SGR flares were found. ... Nevertheless, we do not see any significant excess of short GRBs from the Virgo galaxy cluster and from galaxies Arp 299 and NGC 3256 with extremely high star formation rate. ... With this constraint the fraction of possible extragalactic SGR hyperflares among BATSE short GRBs should not exceed few percents. ...

... 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"). ...

... 2014 February 24 . The Cloudy Cores of Active Galaxies . Image Credit: NASA's GSFC , W. Steffen ( UNAM ) . Explanation: What would it look like to travel to the center of an active galaxy? Most galactic centers are thought to house black hole s millions of times more massive than our Sun. The spaces surrounding these supermassive black holes may be far from dormant, however, flickering in many colors and earning the entire object class the title of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). ...

... In the currently favored cosmology, CDM, the formation of dark matter structures can be simply understood as interactions solely through gravitational forces: small dark matter haloes form first and then merge together to build up larger ones. ... It is believed that such a process could be the feedback from the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN; a BH accreting matter and radiating with large luminosities, LAGN 109 - 1015 L ) onto the host galaxy. ...
