We note, with deep sorrow, that Dr. Valentin Alexandrovich Lipovetsky, a senior astronomer and the leader of the Laboratory of Galaxy Studies of the Special Asrtrophysical Observatory, passed away at the age of 51 on September 22, 1996, after a several year battle with melanoma. Valentin Lipovetsky was an outstanding astronomer in many areas of extragalactic research and an internationally acknowledged leader in objective prism surveys and studies of AGN and star-forming galaxies. ...

... Radio astronomers at Arecibo Observatory observe a wide variety of phenomena in the Milky Way and in other galaxies. ... Some REU projects are carried out on pre-existing data, and others rely on obtaining new data. ... Deriving a new shape model from existing radar images has been a popular student project in past years, and there are data sets that could be used for this. We are collecting thermal infrared emission data for many of the near-Earth asteroids that are also observed with radar. ...

Black holes . ... Black holes are objects for which the gravitational attraction is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. ... The material inside a black hole is concentrated into a singularity: a single point of infinitely high density where space and time are infinitely distorted. ... The existence of such black holes has been inferred in cases where the black hole pulls gas of a companion star that orbits around it. ... Gravity's Fatal Atraction: Black Holes in The Universe. ...

... A universal physical relation for quasars . ... Harvey Tananbaum and his collaborators have first observed a relation between the soft X-ray and the optical/ultraviolet emission in AGN in 1979. Such relation is nonlinear, and it is usually parameterized as dependence between the logarithm of the monochromatic luminosities at 2500 †Е ( L 2500†Е ) and 2 keV ( L 2keV ) . ... Yet, the dispersion along the L 2500†Е тАУ L 2keV relationship is found to be rather high, typically ~0.35тАУ0.4 in log units. ...

Born in the UK, and following degrees at the Univerities of Bristol and Sussex, Martin Elvis got his PhD under Prof. Ken Pounds at the University of Leicester (UK) in 1978 for work with the Ariel V satellite. Ariel V was only the 2nd satellite to be devoted to X-ray astronomy. ... His PhD thesis demonstrated that powerful X-ray emission was a normal feature of Active Galactic Nuclei (or "AGN"). AGN X-ray emission has been a lively area of research ever since. ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...
