Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...

Present edition unites two parts of Catalogue of interacting galaxies by B.A.Vorontsov-Velyaminov: the first part (Part 1) containing 355 systems was published in 1959 [1] and the second one (Part 2) with 497 objects - in 1976 [2].Thus two published parts of Catalogue include 852 interacting systems. ... All new of them (1162 by number) were taken from the comments to the galaxies in Morphological catalogue by Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al.[ ...

Astronotes Armagh Planetarium's Stellar Blog! ... Stars . ... Starbursts are short-lived events, stars are forming so quickly that the reservoirs of interstellar gas from which stars are coalescing would be used up on a timescale much shorter than the age of the galaxy . ... Strong stellar winds from giant new stars in the starburst region combine with the blasts of supernovae to push a mighty flood of extremely hot gas, a ?superwind? from the galaxy thousands of light years into intergalactic space. ...

... 2001 August 16 . Centaurus A: X-Rays from an Active Galaxy . ... CXO , NASA . ... Astronomers were not disappointed, as Centaurus A's appearance in x-rays makes its classification as an active galaxy easy to appreciate. ... Blasting toward the upper left corner of the picture, the jet seems to arise from the galaxy's bright central x-ray source -- suspected of harboring a black hole with a million or so times the mass of the Sun. ...

Clusters of galaxies are the largest gravitationally bounded structures in the Universe dominated by dark matter. We review the observational appearance and physical models of plasma structures in clusters of galaxies. ... The knowledge of the complex dynamical and feedback processes is necessary to understand the energy and matter balance as well as to constrain the role of the non-thermal components of clusters. ...

... Many extragalactic objects for which radial velocities are desired display strong emission lines. ... EMSAO, a companion to the cross-correlation task XCSAO (Kurtz et al. 1992), was written to find emission lines automatically, compute redshifts for each identified line, and combine them into a single radial velocity. ... Figure: This EMSAO Summary page shows line centers and fit information for a night sky spectrum. ... To test EMSAO adequately, a lot of emission line spectra were needed. ...

... 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. ...

... In particular, with the spectrometer SPI (20 keV-8 MeV), we detect in three observations an emission extending above 200 keV and for the first time even up to 350 keV for a neutron star LMXRB, GS 1826-24. ... The additional component above 200 keV is most probably of non-thermal origin. ... Figure 1. ... We reveal with SPI a hard tail up to 220 keV for 4U 1812-12 (Figure 1) and even up to 350 keV for GS 1826-24 (Figure 2), representing the hardest emission ever detected for a Neutron Star LMXRB. ...
