Nuclear Star Formation in NGC 6240

We have made use of archival HST BVIJH photometry to constrain the nature of the three discrete sources, A1, A2 and B1, identified in the double nucleus of NGC 6240. STARBURST99 models have been fitted to the observed colours, under the assumption, first, that these sources can be treated as star clusters (i.e. single, instantaneous episodes of star formation), and subsequently as star-forming regions (i.e. characterised by continuous star formation). For both scenarios, we estimate ages as young as 4 million years, integrated masses ranging between 7 106 M (B1) and 109 M (A1) and a rate of 1 supernova per × 1 year, which, together with the stellar winds, sustains a galactic wind of 44 M yr− . In the case of continuous star formation, 1 a star-formation rate has been derived for A1 as high as 270 M yr− , similar to what is observed for warm Ultraluminous 3 Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) with a double nucleus. -

Carl Sagan (1934-1996) American Astronomer, Astrophysicist, Cosmologist, Author, Science Popularizer and Science Communicator in Astronomy and Natural Sciences
Carl Sagan (1934-1996) American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, science popularizer and science communicator in astronomy and natural sciences Vega (Alpha Lyrae) The fifth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Arcturus. It is a relatively close star at only 25 light-years from Earth, and, together with Arcturus and Sirius, one of the most luminous stars in the Sun's neighborhood. Vega's spectral class is A0V, making it a blue-tinged white main sequence star that is fusing hydrogen to helium in its core. Vega will become a class-M red giant and shed much of its mass, finally becoming a white dwarf. Summer Triangle Mythology of Lyra In Greek mythology LYRA represents the instrument which was a gift from Apollo to his son Orpheus. The latter's bride, the beautiful Eurydice, had been killed by a viper and was lost in the underworld. Orpheus set out to try to save her and played such sweet music on his lyre that Hades, King of the Underworld, was charmed into giving permission for Eurydice to follow her husband home. He made one proviso, however, that Orpheus should not turn back to look at Eurydice until they were safely out of Hell. The pair set off but, at the very last moment, Orpheus could not resist turning round to see if Eurydice was following him and she was lost forever.

Binocular Challenges
This page intentionally left blank Cosmic Challenge Listing more than 500 sky targets, both near and far, in 187 challenges, this observing guide will test novice astronomers and advanced veterans alike. Its unique mix of Solar System and deep-sky targets will have observers hunting for the Apollo lunar landing sites, searching for satellites orbiting the outermost planets, and exploring hundreds of star clusters, nebulae, distant galaxies, and quasars. Each target object is accompanied by a rating indicating how difficult the object is to find, an in-depth visual description, an illustration showing how the object realistically looks, and a detailed finder chart to help you find each challenge quickly and effectively. The guide introduces objects often overlooked in other observing guides and features targets visible in a variety of conditions, from the inner city to the dark countryside. Challenges are provided for viewing by the naked eye, through binoculars, to the largest backyard telescopes. Philip S. Harrington is the author of eight previous books for the amateur astronomer, including Touring the Universe through Binoculars, Star Ware, and Star Watch. He is also a contributing editor for Astronomy magazine, where he has authored the magazine’s monthly “Binocular Universe” column and “Phil Harrington’s Challenge Objects,” a quarterly online column on Astronomy.com. He is an Adjunct Professor at Dowling College and Suffolk County Community College, New York, where he teaches courses in stellar and planetary astronomy.

A Review of Cosmic Collision Abstract Introduction Galactic Collision
International Journal of Research ISSN NO : 2236-6124 A Review of Cosmic Collision Chirag Verma1 1Departmant of Chemistry, University Institute of Science, ChandigarhUniversity, Mohali, Punjab 140413, India E-mail ID: [email protected] (ChiragVerma) Abstract I review the cosmic collision between galaxies, black-holes, and stars. In our universe galaxies are colliding at a speed of one lack thirty two thousand kilometer per hour. These collisions will destroy everything. One day it will also happen with our galaxy too. For understanding the galaxies first we have to understand galactic collision. The most violent collision of universe is galactic collision. Galaxies collide with each other and leaves destruction behind them. One day our Milky-way galaxy will also collide with its neighboring galaxy Andromida. Keywords: galactic collision, binary star system, milky-way, andromida, neutron stars Introduction Collision, at human level it is very much destructive and only leaves destruction behind it. Bigger the collision more is the destruction. On moving into the outer space the rate of these collision increases exponentially. Asteroids and commitsare colliding with planets. Stars are colliding. Even the biggest bodies of our universe that are galaxies collide with each other. The collision between two galaxies is called galactic collision. Galaxies are colliding with each other from the birth of the universe. The biggest collisions in the universe take place between the galaxies. Astrophysist says that these collision also help in development of universe. Galactic Collision For understanding galaxies first we have to understand galactic collision, its shape and structure. Galaxies are groups of Stars, Planets, Solar-systems, Asteroids, Gas and dust. -

The inserts show a newly- discovered cluster of young stars as well as the young star VV Ser with its shadow disk. Follow-up IRS spectroscopy shows that the newly discovered sources cover a range of evolutionary stages, from deeply embedded YSOs to young stars with optically thin disks (based on Pontoppidan, Geers, Merin, van Dishoeck et al. 2006). Superposed is a schematic view of a flaring circumstellar disk and the VLTI-MIDI spectra observed of the inner and outer regions of a Herbig Ae disk (van Boekel, Waters et al. 2005). Also superposed is part of the JCMT 345 GHz spectral survey of the low- mass protostar IRAS 16293-2422, showing strong lines of gaseous methanol (Tielens, Helmich et al. 2006).
