In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

A team of U.S. and German astrophysicists have made the first ever detection of X-rays coming from a comet. ... Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... A bright nova has recently been discovered in the constellation of Delphinus (The Dolphin). ... The nova was confirmed late on August 14 at a magnitude of 6.3 (in a dark sky the faintest naked-eye stars are approximately 6.0 magnitudes - the lower the magnitude the brighter a star). ... Nova explosions occur in binary systems composed of a star similar to our Sun but only ~1/10 of its mass, and a star called a white dwarf. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

... NGC 6221 . NGC 6215 . NGC 6221 is a barred spiral galaxy which is interacting with its brightest neighbour, NGC 6215, and possibly also with two newly discovered low-surface brightness galaxies (see Figure). The galaxy group lies only 10 degrees below the Galactic plane which explains the rather crowded field in the optical. ... Not much is known about NGC 6215, which is classified as a non-barred spiral galaxy of type SAS5 (RC3). ...

... The SN 1998bv discovered on April 6, 1998 in the blue compact galaxy HS 1035+4758 is the second supernova observed in a low-mass galaxy with intense SF burst. ... According to its characteristic spectrum, SN 1998bv is a type II supernova with estimated peak absolute brightness M 16.3. The very slow fading of its brightness suggests that the SN was discovered at the Plateau phase, 20-30 days after the peak of the light curve. The most probable classification of SN 1998bv is regular SN II-P. 3. ...

NGC 5986, a little-studied southern-hemisphere globular cluster, is remarkable in containing two very luminous A-F type stars, discovered by me in the 1970's. These objects are probably in their final evolution off the asymptotic giant branch. ... Determining the distance to NGC 5986 will help calibrate the absolute brightnesses of post-AGB A-F stars. ...
