... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Deep imaging at J , H , and K is required to identify all stellar objects, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects in the central region of the Orion Nebula Cluster down to masses comparable to that of Jupiter. This is required to establish the initial mass function, i.e., the number of stars of each mass that have formed, in this region of intense massive star formation. ... The fields of the GSAOI detectors are shown as four green squares in each frame. ...

... For us to see them from such great distances, quasars must be producing enormous energy -- they are about 1000 times brighter than an average galaxy! ... One of their choices for the energy source of quasars was a black hole. ... On the one hand, it may seem difficult to think that mere friction between bits of matter could account for the energy of a quasar, but, on the other hand, gravity is unimaginably strong near a black hole. ... How does matter actually rush towards the black hole? ...

... Asteroid . ... In case you didn't hear about it, which you probably didn't: On Jan. 7, an asteroid 1,000 feet across -- nearly three times the current diameter of Marlon Brando -- barely missed the Earth, which is most likely your planet of residence. ... What if this asteroid had hit the Earth? ... As it happens, the American Astronomical Society was holding a conference in Washington AT THE VERY SAME TIME as the asteroid nearly hit the Earth. ...

На протяжении последних нескольких лет в рамках проекта MACHO проводятся наблюдения микролинзирования звезд Большого Магелланова Облака - спутника нашей Галактики. Эффект микролинзирования заключается в гравитационной фокусировке света звезды массивным объектом, находящимся на луче зрения между звездой и наблюдателем. ... Согласно некоторым гипотезам, линзами могут являться реликтовые черные дыры или "нейтралинные звезды". ...

... One striking feature is a small source of almost pure H 2 line emission, which is located near one of the compact sources in Orion reported by O'Dell and collaborators (HST-18 = 203-504). ... H-H objects, Proplyds, Orion Bar, H 2 . ... We obtained a series of images across the bright rim of the Orion Bar near the peaks of mm-wave molecular line emission with NICMOS cameras 1-3 (NIC1, NIC2, NIC3) in several filters on 1998 February 18. ... The suggestion of an H-H object does not seem compelling. ...
