... Astronomy news . ... NASA's Spitzer Images Out-of-This-World Galaxy . ... It is spiral-shaped like our Milky Way, with long, spindly arms of stars. The "eye" at the center of the galaxy is actually a monstrous black hole surrounded by a ring of stars. In this color-coded infrared view from Spitzer, the area around the invisible black hole is blue and the ring of stars, white. ... The ring around the black hole is bursting with new star formation. ...

... Solar Wind . ... During a total eclipse of the Sun, when for a few minutes the Moon completely covers the Sun's face, a glow appears around the darkened Sun--the solar corona, the Sun's outermost atmosphere. ... Such high levels of ionization require the atoms to be buffeted around by extremely high temperatures, around 1,000,000 C (1,800,000 F). ... It is brightest near sunspots, whose arched field lines apparently hamper the outflow of solar wind which carries away energy and helps cool the corona...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

Supernova 1999gs in NGC 4725 . This is a prediscovery image of 1999gs in NGC 4725 taken by Marco Migliardi on December 23.21 1999, during the CROSS Program with the Col DrusciХ 20" "Helmut Ullrich" telescope. This image was taken 5 days before the "discovery" image of 1999gs which was taken by LOSS this image shows a significantly brighter SN than the discovery image shows. ... Back to Bright Supernovae .

Dust around Herbig Ae/Be Stars: Porous, Cometary-like Grains? ... This brings up the question, which we try to answer here, of how the grain porosity affects the observational manifestations of the dust shells of HAeBe stars: the excess infrared emission, anomalous extinction in the ultraviolet, and the peculiar behaviour of colour indices and linear polarization during deep brightness minima observed for about 25% of HAeBe stars (UX Ori, WW Vul, etc). ...

If you don't like this WAD, don't bother telling me, as I daresay I shan't have much time in grad school to fool around with level creation and fix what you thought I should have done. Finally, if you're a student at Colorado State, please look me up when I get there - I've never been to Colorado and I'd like some fellow Doomers to show me around! ...

... We find K ­band counter­ parts for all but one of the N­band sources discovered by Okamoto et al. (2003), and there are additional K ­band sources which were un­ resolved in the N­band images. ... The rest of our sources, i.e. numbers 2 to 7 and number 9, are not resolved in the K­band images of Okamoto et al. ... Since Okamoto et al. (2003) suggested that the brightest K­band source corresponds to the 10 µm source OKYM 3, we assume here that our source 1 is positionally coincident with OKYM 3. ...

... The hot component shows very spectacular activity: irregular outbursts accompanied by fast, massive outflows and jets. ... Diffraction-limited images for both components of CH Cyg binary system were reconstructed using visible speckle interferometry at BTA 6-m telescope (Fig.1). The orbital period 15.6 years and masses: 2.0 Msun and 0.7 Msun for red giant and white dwarf, respectively were derived from angular distance (0.042") and magnitude difference (2 m ) of the components. ...

... Positive iterative deconvolution is an algorithm that applies non-linear constraints, conserves energy, and delivers stable results at high noise-levels. This is also true for Richardson-Lucy like algorithms which follow a statistical approach to the deconvolution problem. ...

The Calendar of Bloody A.tecs. Living in Central Mexico from the XII century to the being of the XVI century warlike A.tecs devoted much time to sciences including astronomy. For needs of agriculture A.tecs, using the knowledge received from the forecomers, developed the exact calendar system. 52 years of the moon-and-the sun cycle formed the basis of it (something like our conception of "a century"). ... A.tecs year was divided into 18 months with 20 days each. ... Mesopotamian astronomy. ...
