PPT-Chapter 20: Galaxies

So far we have talked about small things like stars nebulae and star clusters Now its time to get big What are the Spiral Nebulae The Shapley Curtis Debate April 1920 Harlow ShapleyThe Milky Way . Lesson Objectives. To appreciate that some galaxies emit far more energy at some wavelengths that can be explained simply in terms of ‘starlight’.. To recall the types of active galaxies.. To show an understanding of the mechanism for producing large quantities of radiation from active galaxies.. Anja. von . der. Linden et al., 2007, MNRAS, 379, 867. On the prevalence of radio-loud active galactic nuclei in brightest cluster galaxies: implications for AGN heating of cooling flows. P. N. Best et al., 2007, MNRAS, 379, 894. The Milky Way Galaxy. When you look into the hazy band of light across the sky, you are actually looking at our galaxy from the inside. While an awesome sight, you can only truly begin to see it if you get away from city lights on a moonless night. . Li Jiang-Tao. 1. Service d’Astrophysique, CEA, Saclay, France. 2. . Department. of .
