MULTIWAVELENGTH ATLAS OF GALAXIES

• Welcome to the Multiwavelength Atlas of Galaxies.

  This atlas of spiral and elliptical galaxies contains images that span the optical, X-ray, Radio and Infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. These images of galaxies provide important information about the stars, cold, warm and hot gas, dust and charged particles that exist in each galaxy.

  If you are interested in background information about types of galaxies, or the origin of the radiation, links will give you this information at a high school or undergraduate level. Another link will lead you to web sites of the telescopes that took these images.

• A complimentary page of multiwavelength (atomic and molecular hydrogen, infrared and near-infrared, optical, X-ray, and Gamma Ray) images of our Galaxy, The Milky Way with explanatory text has been developed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Astrophysics Data Facility. A visit is highly recommended.

• The page is maintained by Glen Mackie at the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.
