... Be Stars . ... Stellar Winds . ... He had found the first emission line star. ... More emission line stars were found soon, and one had to make subclasses to keep some overview. Cas is a main sequence B-type star, and together with other such stars showing hydrogen emission it forms the class of "Be stars", where the "e" stands for emission. ... Struve further speculated that those stars would be surrounded by a disk, basically thrown off the stellar surface by the rapid rotation. ...

... 2003 August 11 . Elements of the Swan Nebula . ... Explanation: In the depths of the dark clouds of dust and molecular gas known as M17 , stars continue to form. Also known as the Omega Nebula and Horseshoe Nebula, the darkness of M17's molecular clouds results from background starlight being absorbed by thick filaments of carbon-based smoke-sized dust . As bright massive stars form, they produce intense and energetic light that slowly boils away the dark shroud. ... About APOD | ...

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 . ...

Comet C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) was discovered on 27 September 1999 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Lincoln Laboratory programme LINEAR (Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research), at the White Sands Missile Range in Socorro, New Mexico, USA. The LINEAR programme , which uses a 1m prime-focus Cassegrain telescope to search the sky for comets and asteroids passing close to the Earth, is funded by the United States Air Force. ...

Some astronomers ignore low-mass stars because they aren t very bright. However, stars with initial masses between about 0.8 Msun and 8 Msun (AGB stars) play an important role as the main site of the slow neutron capture (s-)process, which produces roughly half of the elements heavier than iron. ... From this work, we will see have a better understanding of AGB nucleosynthesis, the chemical evolution of globular clusters, and the properties of helium-rich stars. ...

The preliminary ALFA pulsar surveys started on August 1st, 2004. In the first day of observations, a new 67.8-ms pulsar, PSR J1928+1746, was discovered: this was the first new pulsar found with ALFA. ... Strangely, the pulsar could not be detected in a 430-MHz observation. This pulsar's apparently unusual spectrum might not be so unusual: 1400-MHz surveys are biased towards finding this kind of object, but the pulsars found in these surveys were not consistently observed at higher frequencies. ...

... White Dwarf Spectra . ... My conception of a white dwarf with a dusty disk. The dust must sublimate and will accrete onto the surface of the white dwarf, possibly through streamers of gas that follow the white dwarf's magnetic field lines. As in Saturn's rings, there might be streaks in the dust due to material that is darker than the surrounding dust, or perhaps caused by shadows of rocky bodies with sizes larger than the scale height of the disk. ...

... Luminous blue variable (LBV) stars are the most massive stars with 40-120 solar masses, which are passing the short stage of evolution losing their hydrogen envelopes before exploding as Supernovae. These are extremely rare objects, only about a dozen of the most massive LBVs are known in the Galaxy. ... In the spectral observations of stars with infrared circular nebulae, found in the Spitzer survey (24 microns), a new LBV star in the Galaxy was discovered. It was named MN112. ...

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." ...
