Streamers of gas feed beast at center of our galaxy Now researchers Robin S. McGary and Paul T. Ho of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics report that narrow "streamers" of ammonia gas appear to be flowing from giant clouds of gas toward the center of the galaxy. Astronomers have long known that a supermassive black hole, more than 2 million times more massive than our Sun, lies at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy some 27,000 light-years from Earth.

Astronomy and Astrophysics in the New Millennium: Panel Reports -- Executive Summary The fundamental goal of astronomy and astrophysics is to understand how the universe and its constituent galaxies, stars, and planets formed, how they evolved, and what their destiny will be. The Astronomy and Astrophysics Survey Committee was charged with surveying both ground- and space-based astronomy and recommending priorities for new initiatives in the decade 2000 to 2010. The principal goal of the study will be an assessment of proposed activities in astronomy and astrophysics and the preparation of a concise response addressed to the agencies supporting the field, the congressional committees with jurisdiction over these agencies, and the scientific community. www.nap.edu /execsumm/0309070376.html

See-through Galaxy: Revealing The Milky Way's Center Headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) is a joint collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Harvard College Observatory. This story has been adapted from a news release issued by Harvard-Smithsonian Center For Astrophysics. If the X-ray sources near the galactic center are accreting white dwarfs, the large numbers of compact low-mass binaries required could suggest that they formed in the very dense star cluster around the galactic center or that they have been "deposited" there by the destruction of globular clusters. www.sciencedaily.com /releases/2005/01/050111114406.htm

New Scientist Breaking News - Galactic loners produce more stars John Huchra, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US, says the research’s sample size is impressive. The research was presented at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US, last week and published in the Astrophysical Journal. Finding elliptical galaxies in relatively empty voids could show that the galaxies can take shape directly out of "primordial" gas, says Hoyle. www.newscientist.com /article.ns?id=dn7478

Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) is a "research institute" of the Smithsonian Institution headquartered in Cambridge, MA, where it is joined with the Harvard College Observatory (HCO) to form the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). Because many of these research activities share Harvard and Smithsonian staff and resources, several of the "SAO" links at this website will take you to information posted on joint "CfA" pages. More than 300 scientists at the CfA are engaged in a broad program of research in astronomy, astrophysics, earth and space sciences, and science education. cfa-www.harvard.edu /sao-home.html

Astronomers peek inside neutron star - Space News - MSNBC.com Understanding the internal structure of a neutron star would allow scientists to determine the object's basic properties, explained Lars Hernquist, an astronomer with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who is unaffiliated with Strohmayer's study. The pair presented their research before the High Energy Astrophysics Division of the American Astronomical Society during a meeting last week in New Orleans. "Neutron stars are a sort of cosmic lab in a sense that the material at their centers is so dense it can't be reproduced on Earth," study leader Tod Strohmayer said in a telephone interview. msnbc.msn.com /id/6000829

Spaceflight Now | Breaking News | 'Winking star' started winking only recently Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) is a joint collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Harvard College Observatory. Spurred on by those findings, Harvard astronomer Joshua Winn (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) and colleagues decided to examine the past behavior of KH 15D using sky photographs taken during the first half of the 20th century and stored in the Harvard archives. Measurements from archived sky photos in the Harvard Plate Stacks (right two frames) show that these eclipses are a recent phenomenon, yielding a remarkable opportunity to study planet formation on the short timescale of a single human lifetime. spaceflightnow.com /news/n0308/09winking

SORS Smithsonian Fellowships The Smithsonian Center for Materials Research and Education makes a number of postgraduate fellowships and pre-graduate internships in archaeological conservation available for recent graduates of academic conservation training programs or students in their final (practical) year of studies at such programs.
