  • 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]
I do, they are quite different (OED sources) [40] [41] @Xingyzt TheTopRocketFan (talk) 23:38, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your first definition is of synchrotrons, not their radiation. Xingyzt (talk  |  contribs) 23:41, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One of the major editors of List of largest galaxies here; this article is absolutely possible, however we do need a systematic search based on what classifications of galaxies are the smallest to make it easier. The strategy done on the largest list is to look for BCGs in Abell clusters, plus a paper by Ogle et al. made things easier by detecting large galaxies within 4 billion light-years. Even if there are no equivalent papers for the smallest, it can still be done by searching on NED and starting with Local Group galaxies and members of nearby galaxy groups and clusters.

New requests:

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

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.
