Astronomy Picture of the Day . Galaxies in the GOODS . ... Credit: NASA , ESA , GOODS Team , M. Giavalisco ( STScI ) Explanation: This tantalizing view of galaxies scattered near and far is part of the Hubble Space Telescope's contribution to the GOODS - the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey project. The GOODS' goal is to study galaxy formation and evolution over an unprecedent wide range of cosmic distances , therefore spanning time from the present to the early Universe. ...

... We present preliminary results from two programs to image the host galaxies of radio-quiet quasars in 1.6 micron light using NICMOS camera 2 on HST. The high redshift program consists of QSOs covering the redshift range 0.8 < z < 4.4 and a range of QSO luminosities. Of the six objects for which data have been obtained the results range from no host galaxy detected, to an obvious galaxy with an interacting companion, to a possible high redshift galaxy cluster. ...

GRANAT is the Russian x-ray sattelite launched to the high apogee orbit (200,000 km) and operated almost for 10 years (1989 -1999) , carrying out four major instruments: French SIGMA coded-mask hard x-ray telescope (30-1000 keV), Soviet ART-P coded-mask telescope (2??-60?? keV), all-sky monitor WATCH (6-150 keV), and a gamma-burst detector PHEBUS . ...

Abstract -- The strengths of magnetic fields in interstellar gas clouds are obtained through observations of the circular polarization of spectral line radiation. ... To infer information about these irregularities from the observational data, we develop statistical relationships between the rms values of the irregular component of the magnetic field and spatial variations in the circular polarization of the spectral line radiation. ...

The observed isotropy on the sky and non-uniform spatial distribution of gamma-ray bursts   (GRB) revealed by the BATSE   device onboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (e.g. Meegan et al. , 1992)[ 138 ] lend support to the idea of a cosmological origin of GRB (Prilutski and Usov, 1975;[ 165 ] Usov and Chibisov, 1975)[ 199 ] for which the best candidates could be merging binary NS+NS   or NS+BH   at high redshifts (z 1 -2), (Blinnikov et al. ...
