Black holes . ... Black holes are objects for which the gravitational attraction is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. ... The material inside a black hole is concentrated into a singularity: a single point of infinitely high density where space and time are infinitely distorted. ... The existence of such black holes has been inferred in cases where the black hole pulls gas of a companion star that orbits around it. ... Gravity's Fatal Atraction: Black Holes in The Universe. ...

... 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"). ...

... NASA's Hubble Space Telescope offers a stunning unprecedented close-up view of a turbulent firestorm of starbirth along a nearly edge-on dust disk girdling Centaurus A, the nearest active galaxy to Earth. A ground-based telescopic view (upper left insert) shows that the dust lane girdles the entire elliptical galaxy. This lane has long been considered the dust remnant of a smaller spiral galaxy that merged with the large elliptical galaxy. ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....
