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. ...

The completion of the 12-mm and 3-mm receiver systems on the Compact Array has secured two new astronomical windows into the southern skies. ... These include investigating the molecular gas reservoirs in and around galaxies in the very distant (high redshift) universe. ... Northern hemisphere millimetre interferometers have already observed molecular gas and dust in a handful of high-redshift radio galaxies, confirming that these objects are still forming the bulk of their stars. ...

I Zw 18, a BCG with the lowest known oxygen abundance among the galaxies (O/H 1/50 (O/H) , Searle & Sargent [ 1972 ]; Izotov & Thuan [ 1999 ]), has been suggested as a candidate to be a truly-local young galaxy, experiencing its first short SF episode. ... 1998 ]). ... In this paper we describe the data obtained for the third most metal-deficient galaxy, HS 0822+3542 with O/H = 1/36 (O/H) . ... 0822+3542 1 . ...

... By means of deep optical images obtained at the Special Astrophysical Observatory 6-m telescope it was discovered that some Seyfert galaxies that were earlier considered to be non-interacting objects displayed signatures of elongated tidal envelopes belonging to satellite debris. ... Our results suggest that statistic studies based on popular imaging surveys (for example SDSS) can lead to an underestimation of the fraction of minor mergers among galaxies with active nuclei (AGN). ...

... Since IRS 7 at the Galactic center was identified as a luminous red supergiant (Lebofsky et al. 1982), a lasting debate has been initiated whether the nucleus of the Milky Way galaxy had experienced a recent star formation episode. ... 1993). ... 1994). ... Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) and Schaerer (1994) proposed starburst models which would be able to account for a young stellar population at the Galactic center, although the origin of some peculiar hot stars still remains to be explained (Tamblyn et al...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...
