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 . ...

We investigate the dust associated with the supernova remnant (SNR) N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) as observed with the Herschel Space Observatory. N49 is unusually bright because of an interaction with a molecular cloud along its eastern edge. We have used PACS and SPIRE to measure the far IR flux densities of the entire SNR and of a bright region on the eastern edge of the SNR where the SNR shock is encountering the molecular cloud. ...

Nova 1998 2 in M31 this image of the second Nova in M31 in 1998, was made from 38 exposures of 45 seconds integration time. It was made at September 21, 22h 20m UT. Telescope was a CG11 at f/6.3, no filters were used. The long list of processing steps caused the artefacts at the overexposed center of the galaxy and in many of the brighter stars. During the exposures thin clouds covered the sky but the CCD cuts through them, allowing me to obtain this result. ...
