The Murmur of the Sleeping Black Hole: Detection of Nuclear Ultraviolet Variability in Liner Galaxies
LINER nuclei, which are present in many nearby galactic bulges, may be the manifestation of lowrate or low-radiative-efficiency accretion onto supermassive central black holes. However, it has been unclear whether the compact ultraviolet (UV) nuclear sources present in many LINERs are clusters of massive stars, rather than being directly related to the accretion process. We have used the Hubble...
متن کاملDetection of Compact Nuclear X-ray Emission in Ngc
We report the results from a deep ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) observation of LINER galaxy NGC 4736. Two bright sources are detected, separated by only about 1@, with the brighter one coinciding with the center of the galaxy. Neither source shows apparent X-ray variability on timescales of minutes to hours in the ROSAT band. Simple power-law models, typical of active gal...
متن کاملExtreme Ultraviolet Emission in the Fornax Cluster of Galaxies
We present studies of the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) emission in the Fornax cluster of galaxies; a relatively nearby well-studied cluster with X-ray emitting cluster gas and a very large radio source. We examine both the large-scale (∼ size of the X-ray emitting cluster gas), and the small-scale (< arc min) emission. We find that this cluster has large-scale diffuse EUV emission. However, at the...
متن کاملThe far - ultraviolet emission of early - type galaxies
We have assembled a UV-flux selected sample of 82 early-type galaxies and collected additional information at other wavelengths. These data confirm a large spread of the U V − V color in the range 2 to 5. The spread in U V − V is accompanied by a spread in B − V that is mainly attributed to the range of morphological types and luminosities. A large fraction of the objects have red colors, U V −...
متن کاملVLA and VLBA observations of compact radio cores in LINER galaxies Heino
A VLA survey of nearby LINER galaxies at 15 GHz has revealed the presence of a compact radio core in many sources. The cores seem to be correlated with the optical activity. Follow-up VLBA observations of the ten brightest sources confirm that these cores have brightness temperatures> 10 Kelvin, thus confirming their AGN nature. The two brightest radio sources show extended jet-like structures ...
