In 2001, Westerbork observations of the disturbed galaxy named VV-29 (alias Arp-188, UGC-10214) showed that there is second smaller galaxy (named VV-29c) that appears behind the western side of the main body of the distorted galaxy. ... The galaxy was featured as the May 2, 2002 Astronomy Picture of the Day . ... When VV-29 had its 15 minutes of fame in May 2002, it appeared under the name "The Tadpole Galaxy," but based on the images above, we will always think of it as "The CHAINSAW"! ...

... Programme . ... Presenter: Ronald Ekers (CSIRO/ATNF) . Abstract: Centaurus A is a very special for radio astronomers: it heralded the discovery of the extragalactic radio source population. It is the brightest radio source in the southern sky, the closest radio galaxy, the closest AGN and probably the closest super massive blackhole. For a long time it was also the largest radio galaxy known. ... CSIRO 2009 Legal Notice / Privacy Statement Last modified: 15/11/2010 ...

... Fix $s$ with $Re (s)=\sigma$, and let $\chi$ run over all Dirichlet characters with (say) prime conductors. Then (generally conjecturally), $M_{\sigma}(z)$ (resp. $\tilde{M}_{\sigma}(z)$) coincides with the limit-average over $\chi$ of $\delta_z(L'(\chi,s)/L(\chi,s))$ (resp. $\psi_z(L'(\chi,s)/L(\chi,s))$). Here $\delta_z(w)$ is the Dirac measure concentrated at $z$ and $\psi_z(w)=\exp(i Re(\bar{z}w))$ is the additive character on the field of complex numbers parametrized by $z$. ...

Two groups are measuring distant supernovae with the goal of determining whether the Universe is open or closed by measuring the curvature in the Hubble diagram. The figure below shows both data sets: Perlmutter et al. (1997) and (1998) in black and Garnavich et al. (1997) in orange. The curves show a closed Universe (Omega = 2) in red, the critical density Universe (Omega = 1) in black, the empty Universe (Omega = 0) in green, and the steady state model in blue. ...

Based on RATAN-600 21 cm line observations with an angular resolution of 2.4' over a wide range of radial velocities, we analyze the neutral-hydrogen distribution in the region of the supernova remnant (SNR) G78.2+2.1. ... The brightness distribution of H I features at a radial velocity of +10 km/s after an extended background in the region of the Cygnus X radio source and SNR G78.2+2.1 has bee subtracted. ...

... The history of star formation was successfully analyzed for the first time based on the spectra of the stellar population of dwarf galaxies of low surface brightness outside the Local Group. We have investigated the stellar population of two dwarf spheroidal galaxies KDG61 and KDG64 in the central part of a close group of galaxies M81. ... These galaxies are dominated by the old stellar population (12-14 billion years) of low metallicity ([Fe/H] ~ -1.5). ... KDG61 . ... KDG64 ...

... The most spectacular view however is from space, where large areas of aurora can be observed simultaneously, even the entire polar cap. ... Such pictures often show a continuous ring of aurora around the polar cap (picture above), caused mostly by electrons leaking out along magnetic field lines, from the plasma sheet of the Earth's magnetic tail. ... Field lines from the auroral oval are believed to lead to the plasma sheet. ... A near-Earth circular polar orbit has many uses. ...
