... Note on Filters: . A1 centered at 2500 angstroms with a width of 1200 angstroms . ... M31 otherwise known as the Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest large spiral galaxy to our own. Its overall size is about 3 degrees on the sky and thus only a portion of it can be imaged in a single UIT exposure. ... The total exposure time for the first field in M31 was 1300 seconds and done through the A1,B1 and B5 filters. ... A 650 second exposure through the B5 filter was obtained by Astro-2. ...

Why areNuclear Star Clusters interesting? 1) Many -- if not all ­ nuclear star clusters appear to be young, or at least have a young population of stars. ... 3) If nuclear clusters indeed form in the galaxy center, their impact on the dynamics of stars and gas in the central region of the host galaxy needs to be understood, because it can potentially influence the galaxy morphology. For example, it has been suggested that nuclear clusters can destroy stellar bars and thus form galaxy bulges. ...

In particular, no less than four novae were detected in a single giant galaxy within only 11 days . ... Moreover, the discovery of four novae in one galaxy in the Fornax cluster was possible with only 3 hours of observing time per filter. ...

... According to the most popular cosmological paradigm, the greater part of the galaxy mass is accumulated in the dark matter halo. ... The polar ring galaxies (PRGs) reveal external rings or disks of gas, dust and stars rotating in a plane roughly perpendicular to the disk of the central galaxy. ... The shape of the dark halo in the model was chosen so as to achieve the best fit to the observed rotation of both galaxies themselves and their polar rings. ... The SPRC-7 galaxy. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
