  • Don't see the difference with synchrotron radiation. This paper differentiates the two as "Gyrosynchrotron radiation is the electromagnetic emission generated by mildly relativistic electrons moving in a magnetic field, while the term synchrotron radiation is used to describe the emission from ultarelativitic electrons", but most sources I found define synchrotron radiation as just relativistic. Maybe a historical shift in definition? I'm inclined to redirect but maybe an expert can chime in. Xingyzt (talk  |  contribs) 14:59, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Individual Objects and Groups

NGC Objects

Based upon the availability of published scientific studies, the following New General Catalogue deep sky objects are likely to satisfy the WP:GNG criteria:

c. Cluster; n. Nebula

 Comment: Turkish Wikipedia has all of the NGC objects. tr:Kategori:NGC cisimleri --Evolutionoftheuniverse (talk) 14:50, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think quite a few language Wikipedias have all of them as well. Alpha Piscis Austrini (talk) 18:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can we get someone who can translate those article to English? PrathuCoder (talk) 06:28, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Based upon the availability of published scientific studies, some Hubble Ultra-Deep Field deep sky objects should have articles. Click here for a list of Hubble Ultra-Deep Field objects.

  • Mikayel G. Melkumyan (Dr. Mikayel Melkumyan is an Armenian earthquake engineer who has dedicated himself to strengthening the buildings across Armenia and the world against devastating earthquakes. Through his research work he has created the Melkumyan Model, a hysteresis model that models the shear behavior of rigid reinforced concrete structures. He has reconstructed multiple buildings in Armenia and his technologies are being used in various countries. His work put Armenia second in the world after Japan for most seismically isolated buildings per capita. Dr. Mikayel Melkumyan is a distinguished professor and academic, with memberships in various scientific societies and associations.[75] [76] [77] [78] [79] [80] [81] [82] [83] [84]
