... This survey will using the 3.5 and 0.9m telescopes of the WIYN Observatory to conduct an unbiased survey for dwarf galaxies. ... What percentage of low mass galaxies experience starburst (SB) episodes? ... There are two kinds of galaxies, those that SB and those that don't. Need a survey that identifies both kinds? ... Therefore, you need to survey a large area to have a sufficient volume to find enough dwarfs. ... Low mass galaxies are very rare, so we need to cover a lot of area. ...

This is the homepage of Andrew Fruchter, an astronomer on the staff of the Space Telescope Science Institute . ... Here you can look at an HST images of the optical counterparts of gamma-ray bursts and their host galaxies. ... Therefore, substantial information on the fine scale structure of objects can be obtained by offsetting the pointing of the telescope between exposures and then combining these "dithered" exposures into a single image. ...

However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. ... Far from being a voracious devourer of stars and of interstellar gas, "our own" black hole is rather benign. ... What holds galaxies together? ...

... Our recent observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (August 29, 2014) led to revealing a highly isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxy KKs 3 situated at a distance of 2.12 0.07 Mpc from the Milky Way. The dSph galaxy locates on the southern sky (RA=02 h 24 m 44.4 s , Dec.= ... Over the last decade, about 30 dSph galaxies have been discovered inside the Local Group through systematic search in the vicinity of M31 and more that a dozen dSphs were discovered in the nearby group around M81. ...

... But instead of looking at how human beings came into existence, they study the how baby galaxies (known as proto-galaxies ) grow into giant systems containing hundreds of billions of brilliant stars, similar to our own Galaxy. ... They have discovered huge, billowing columns of cold gas being shot out of the centre of the Sculptor Galaxy into space. ... Unfortunately for the galaxy, this cold gas is the raw material needed to form new stars! ...

... Fragments of Comet LINEAR . ... The question is definitely relevant to comet LINEAR (C/1999 S4 LINEAR) whose nucleus apparently fragmented late last month during its first trip through the inner solar system. ... While extrasolar planet discoveries are sure to continue, none - so far - points clearly to another planetary system like our own. Take, for example, the newly discovered parent star HD38529. ...

... Posts tagged ?false discovery? ... Without an optical afterglow, a galaxy within the 2 arc second error region of a GRB x-ray afterglow is identified as a host galaxy; however confusion can rise due to the facts that 1. the edge of a galaxy is diffused, 2. multiple sources could exist within 2 arc second error region, 3.the distance between the galaxy and the x-ray afterglow is measured by projection, and 4. lensing causes increase of brightness and position shifts. ...

If material ejected from the Earth contains microorganisms and spores, the question arises whether life may be carried from planet to planet within the solar system. ... However, the solar system is tiny on the scale of the Galaxy, and it has generally been thought that the transfer of life between stars is impossible -- the microorganisms would be destroyed by cosmic rays, ultraviolet light and so on. ...
