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. ...

ATNF Annual Report 2000 (submitted) . ... One of the first products is the HIPASS {\it Bright Galaxy Catalogue}, which is a catalogue of the 1000 apparently brightest HI galaxies in the southern hemisphere. ... In Figure 1 we show the spatial distribution of the brightest HIPASS galaxies. ... Figure 4 shows the velocity distribution of the 1000 brightest HIPASS galaxies (orange) compared to the 1000 brightest optical galaxies (selected from the Lyon/Meudon Extragalactic Database using blue magnitude). ...

One possible way for spiral galaxies to internally evolve would be for gas to flow to the center and form stars in a central disk (pseudo-bulge). ... In this paper we present radial profiles of stellar and 8 ЮМm emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for 11 spiral galaxies to investigate whether the interstellar medium in these galaxies contains a central concentration above that expected from the exponential disk. ...

Next: The stage and Up: The ESO Red Sky Previous: Artefacts . Fig. 3 shows the distribution of stars. The most striking feature is the rapid steepening of the density gradient towards the Milky Way region at the right and left hand edges of the total field, apparent from the dramatic change in colour in this false colour presentation. Noticable changes in star density across even short distances are indicated by colour changes within individual plates. ... Fig. ...

... The main field of my investigations is stellar spectrophotometry. As a result of scientific activity of our group spectrophotometric catalog was created including energy distribution data on 900 stars in the range 3200-7600AA and 250 stars in the range 6000-10800AA (Voloshina et al., Spectrophotometry of Bright Stars, ed. I.N.Glushneva, 1982, Moscow, Nauka, in Russian). ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... It is widely accepted that the evolution of the large scale structure of the Universe is driven by dark matter. Understanding this dark matter continues to be one of Astronomy's great unsolved problems. Measuring the bulk motions of galaxies allows us to map the overall mass distribution of the Universe in a way that is independent of the luminous matter in galaxies. ...

... To see how this is done, it helps to visualise the colours as points inside a cube with edges 1 unit in length. ... The task of allocating these colours is equivalent to constructing 256 boxes inside the cube, each box to contain a subset of the thousands of colour points. ... At present the boxes are allocated so that they all tend to be of equal size, but it may make more sense to allocate them so that they all tend to contain equal numbers of points. ...

You Can Make Stellar Images Brighter . Articles | ... A few months ago I wrote an article titled "You Can’t Make Them Brighter". So why am I now writing that you can make them brighter. ... The image of a focused star is actually a small disk called the Airy disk, named after the 19 th century scientist Sir George Airy. ... For a given aperture, a smaller Airy disk means that the light is focused to a smaller disk and is therefore brighter. ... www.astronomy.net . About Astronomy Net | ...

... Our resulting sample of ELGs presented in Tables 2 and 3 is not artificially biased to any specific type of galaxies. ... Since we are looking for selection of a sample of Case BCGs, it is interesting to examine how the detected BCGs are connected with Case emission-line codes. ... Altogether BCGs comprise about 60 % of all Case ELGs which display emission lines in our spectra, or about 44 % of all Case galaxies with some emission-line code. ... Among those with the code ``w'' about 40 % are BCGs. ...

To start calculations, we choose the distributions of the initial binary parameters: the mass of the primary ZAMS component, , binary mass ratio, , orbital separation a . ... whereas the mass ratio distribution is not. ... The zero assumption often made is that the mass ratio distribution has a flat shape, that is binaries with a high mass ratio occur as frequently as those with equal masses. ...
