We present spatially resolved Spitzer Space Telescope imaging of the supergiant shell region of the M81 group dwarf galaxy IC 2574 obtained as part of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey. This region harbors one of the best nearby examples of a kinematically distinct H I shell, with an associated remnant stellar cluster; the shell is initiating sequential star formation as it interacts with the surrounding interstellar medium. ...

... 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. ...

... Massive stars, having 10-150 masses of the Sun, with metallicities Z tens to hundreds times less than that of the Sun (Zo), are the main regulators of the galaxy formation and evolution processes in the early Universe. ... In this galaxy, using the 6 m BTA telescope, a new massive blue variable star with high luminosity (>=10 5 Sun's luminocities in visible light) was found. As far as its properties are concerned, this star falls into an LBV (Luminous Blue Variable) class of stars. ...

... Herschel s Cygnus X . ... The Herschel Space Observatory's infrared view of Cygnus X spans some 6x2 degrees across one of the closest, massive star forming regions in the plane of our Milky Way galaxy. In fact, the rich stellar nursery already holds the massive star cluster known as the Cygnus OB2 association. ... In fact, while the spiky foreground stars are hundreds of light-years distant, the Hydra Cluster galaxies are over 100 million light-years away. Sun vs Super Moon . ...

... Absorption by neutral atomic hydrogen in luminous spiral galaxies provides an excellent tool to study the gas kinematics in their nuclear regions. ... Since the absorption lines are intrinsically narrow as a result of the low temperatures of the optically thick gas, typically 30 to 150 K (Dickey, Salpeter & Terzian 1979), it is surprising that numerous galaxies show H I absorption over a broad range of velocities (a few hundred kms -1 ); see e.g., Fig. ... range . ...

... 2007 September 24 . A Galactic Star Forming Region in Infrared . ... Explanation: How do stars form? To help study this complex issue, astronomers took a deep image in infrared light of an active part of our Milky Way Galaxy where star formation is rampant. ... The image , though, taken last year by the Spitzer Space Telescope in infrared light , shows vast glowing fields of gas and dust, indicating that much of this dust is heated by forming stars. ...

SAOtng can associate names with region markers in order to aid users in remembering the significance of the region. ... By default, marker regions that you create in SAOtng are defined to be either "source" regions or "background" regions and are colored green and red, respectively. ... This type name is controlled by the "Set Type (and Color)" option in the marker menu (activated using the right mouse button within a region). ... Colors can be associated with names for regions. ...

... Thus all regions of the 0.94-2.50 micron wavelength range accessible from Mauna Kea can be recorded using five fixed angle gratings. ... Grating Angle . ... Efficiencies for the NIFS gratings are shown above. The NIFS spectrograph uses a Bouwers collimator and a refractive camera. ... With these assumptions, the NIFS system efficiency including the Gemini telescope optics but excluding the transmission of the adaptive optics system is about 0.17 e - /photon at J , and 0.22 e - /photon at H and K . ...

Models of galaxy formation and evolution within the Ю?-CDM paradigm can be tested against their predictions on the number and properties of dwarf galaxies and in particular stellar systems highly dominated by dark matter. ... The authors argue that the third possibility is the most likely one and hence SECCO1 would be a new faint dwarf galaxy residing in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. ...

. This image of the Eris simulation shows the stars in the galaxy as observers would see it. Blue colors are regions of recent star formation, while redder regions are associated with older stars. The spiral arms are typically star-forming, and the central bulge is basically "red and dead." Credit: J. Guedes and P. Madau
