... 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. ...

... The concepts of Fourier frequency and wavelet duration are obviously related. ... Among many sensible definitions, we chose to require that the peak of the wavelet mean spectrum should be matched with the singularity of the Fourier transform of the cosine wave. Then, it can be shown that the frequency of the cosine is related to the wavelet duration by the relation . ... The ambiguous definition of the duration of an event is common to the sizing of any object of irregular shape. ...

Study of galaxies in a nearby Lynx-Cancer Void: project and first results Pustilnik S.A. and Tepliakova A.L. (SAO) Dwarf galaxies residing in the very low density environment (voids) are expected in the frame of modern cosmological CDM models to form later and to evolve more slowely in respect of their counterparts in a more typical environment. The available data on evolution of void population are rather scarce and indirect. ...

Next: The Stopping Radius Up: ``Ecology'' of Magnetic Rotators Previous: A Gravimagnetic Rotator . We shall assume that the rotator is surrounded by an ideally conductive plasma with a density and a sound velocity at a sufficiently far distance from the rotator. ... The following classification   of magnetic rotators     is based on the essential characteristics of the interaction of the plasma surrounding them with their electromagnetic field. ... leading to a spindown   of the rotator. ...

... arXiv.org . astro-ph . ... We fit the near-infrared to radio spectral energy distributions of 30 luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies with pure starburst models or models that include both starburst and AGN components to determine important physical parameters for this population of objects. In particular we constrain the optical depth towards the luminosity source, the star formation rate, the star formation efficiency and the AGN fraction. ...
