The host galaxy of the gamma-ray burst GRB990712 
The host galaxy observed with the HST/STIS camera.
The redshift of this burst was z=0.434 and it is thus
one of the closest cosmological bursts. The distance
between the two knots is 1500 pc. It is possible that
these knots are two separate star forming regions.
The GRB occurred in the right knot.

The fascinating tidal encounter between the barred spiral galaxy NGC
2207 (left) and the ocular shaped spiral IC2163 (right). The image is a
composite of 6 observations in the I-band.

NGC2207 and IC2163 after applying an adaptive Laplace filter.
Compare the image with the one above and note the structures
revealed in the cores of the galaxies.

Another barred galaxy: NGC 1365 - member of the Fornax cluster. It is a
wide spiral with a very strong bar and contains more than 15 x 109 solar
masses of HI (Jörsäter & Moorsel, AJ 110 (5), 1995, p. 2037). Three
I-band frames have been added to get the image.

COMBO-17: Classifying Objects by Medium-Band Observations 
COMBO-17 has imaged 1 square degree of sky in 17 optical filters using the Wide Field Imager at the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at La Silla, Chile. The image shows the cluster field Abell 901/902. (full size).

Detail of a cosmological simulation of galaxy formation
 
Detail of a 25 Mpc simulation (using the MMART code - multiple-mass adaptive refinement tree) at redshift 0.25: This group contains  three massive halos and 110 smaller satellites. The progenitor of this object at  redshift one  shows two of the massive halos in the progress of merging. At  redshift 5.5  a huge number of small halos can be seen along filaments.

First XMM observations of the Lockman hole
 
Lockman Hole viewed by EPIC PN-Camera in a ~20 ksec observation 
(see  http://sci.esa.int ). 
The superposed squares with numbers refer to the sources detected
in 1.2 Msec observation with the ROSAT HRI, which was the deepest
X-ray image of the universe until recently.
The XMM observation, although relatively short, is even more 
sensitive than the deepest ROSAT observation.
A total exposure time of 150 ksec is foreseen in the XMM PV phase.

Galactic magnetic fields 
In order to explain the observed properties of galactic magnetic 
fields, a 3D numerical code was applied to a uniform external 
(primordial) magnetic field being subject to a complex flow 
pattern representing the situation in a turbulent spiral galaxy.
No dynamo alpha-effect was prescribed, but all the known turbulence 
effects such as eddy diamagnetism and turbulent pumping are involved.
