... Science Users Information > Science Activities > PhD Thesis Topics offered by ESO Faculty Members > Thesis Topic: Planetary Nebulae and HII regions in the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 5128 . ... NGC 5128 is the closest example of a giant early type (elliptical or S0) galaxy. Although often dubbed as a peculiar elliptical galaxy since it has a dust lane with recent star formation and an active galactic nucleus, the majority of early type galaxies have similar structures as revealed by recent surveys. ...

... These observations are a precursor to a large scale, extragalactic, Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) survey with the Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA). ... Full survey observations, which will begin in 2007, will reveal local large scale structure in a part of the extragalactic sky that is relatively unexplored due to the obscuration of optical light by dust in our Galaxy. ...

... 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"). ...

... Stars at the Galactic Center . ... The center of our Milky Way Galaxy is hidden from the prying eyes of optical telescopes by clouds of obscuring dust and gas. ... Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy some 200 thousand light-years distant, lies 5 million year young star cluster NGC 602. Surrounded by natal gas and dust, NGC 602 is just below center in this telescopic field of view with the angular size of the Full Moon on the sky. ... A Dust Devil on Mars . ...

The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (M83) . ... The blue and pink pinwheel in the center is the galaxy's main stellar disk, while the flapping, ribbon-like structures are its extended arms. The Galaxy Evolution Explorer is an ultraviolet survey telescope. Its observations, shown here in blue and green, highlight the galaxy's farthest-flung clusters of young stars up to 140,000 light-years from its center. The Very Large Array observations show the radio emission in red. ...

Barred spiral galaxy NGC 6744 is located in a constellation of the southern hemisphereтАЩs sky, called Pavo (Latin for peacock). At a distance from our Solar System of about 30 million light years, NGC 6744 is not only one of the closest spiral galaxies but is thought to be one of the visible galaxies most like our own Milky Way. Is it our cosmic doppelganger? ...

... Cross-shaped galaxy ZGC 2315+03 (Fig.1) has been described by Zwicky (1971) as ``post-eruptive or the result of the crossing of a compact galaxy through an edge-on spiral'' . This object was included in the Polar-Ring Catalog (C-71) by Whitmore et al. (1990) as a possible candidate for Polar-Ring Galaxies (PRG). ... One of them is galaxy 'disk' and the other is 'polar-ring'. ... The facts against the polar-ring nature of ZGC 2315+03 can be summarized as follows: . ...

... Previous: Substepping and its Application to HST Imaging . ... This is a preliminary report on an application of the co-addition technique based upon the Richardson-Lucy algorithm. The combination of high signal-to-noise ground-based images obtained with the ESO NTT using SUSI with high angular resolution HST FOC f/96 images gives new insights on the properties of galaxy cores and their potential time variability. Cores of galaxies are one of the main thrusts of present extragalactic research. ...
