The disease burden of Dengue is not exactly known
worldwide. But it can be said that at risk population worldwide is between 2.5
billion to increased 3.6 billion in more than 125 countries of which infection
occur in 270-400millions people every year and dengue haemorrhagic fever is
seen in 2 millions and yearly death from dengue is around 21,000-25,000[3] of which Brazil in 21st
century began to occupy the first position in word ranking of Dengue fever(DF)
reported cases ranging from 63.2 in 2004 to 429.9(2010) per 10,000 inhabitant[4]
Dengue is
an acute Dengue fever in
Kolkata, febrile
viral diseases of short duration, but now a days it is considered
reappearing and is distributed on
continental proportion due to travelling in last 25 years. The etiological
agent belongs an arbovirus Flave viridae family. Flavivurs gender
divided into four serotypes DENV-1, DENV-2, DENv-3, DENV-4. Man is the only
infection host but there are wide cycles that keep the viral circulation. There
is a wide circulation recently in Kolkata West Bengal in year 2012 basically
DNEV type-1, DENV type-3, DENV type 4 triggering 2012 dengue epidemic.
First
reported epidemic of Dengue Fever(DF)
occurred in1635 in West Indies and then
in 1779-1780 ie around 375 years back.
Confirmed epidemic simultaneously occurred
in Asia , North America & Africa .Since then, it occurred sporadically.
Major changes in epidemiology of Dengue occurred after world war II and is
continued till day. The first epidemic of DHF and Dengue shock syndrome( DSS)
was described in Manila , thereafter in India . DNEV was
first Isolated in 1946 in kolkata. In Kolkata, West Bengal, India, DF was first
documented in 1824, and several epidemic
took place in city of Kolkata in years 1836,1906,1911, 1972,1990,
2000,2009, 2010,2012 and probably threatening in 2013.Dengue epidemic In India
are cyclical mostly found in month of sept- October and more frequent expanding geographically
into rural areas now. Dengue hemorrhagic fever(DHF) occurred Kolkata first in year 1963-64. The epidemic
in Kolkata, West Bengal in
2003,2004,2005 & 2006 showed predominance of DNEV-3, in 2007 it was DNEV-2,
in 2008 DNEV-2 and DNEV3, in2010 it was mainly due to DNEV-2 few cases by
DNEV-3 while causes of DHF was infected by multiple serotypes. The epidemic in
2012 was caused by DNEV-3 and DNEV-1 and few by DNEV-4. In 2006 there was an
out break in Delhi and Rajasthan region of India in month of September- October and caused many death. In recent years Dengue
has become major international Public health concern due to billons people travel through out world by
air or sea. The Mosquito born infection mostly found in tropical and sub
tropical areas around the world and is leading cause of hospitalization and
death in rural west Bengal too. In 1980s DF
was found in china, Indonesia ,
Malyesia and thiland. Epedemic occurred
in Bangladesh2005.
Social and
economic issues facilitate disease dissemination. Dengue has high relationship
with environmental sanitation conditions, defect in continuous water flow
supply, inappropriate solid and waste garbage and lack of clean water storage
in residences encouraging mosquito breeding. So areas of low socioeconomic
conditions in cities, towns of West Bengal are
most susceptible for emergence of epidemic.
Dengue may
appear as a febrile acute illness and most DF are self limiting disease and
present as ample clinical spectrum from oligo symptomatic form to clinical
cases of DF to severe Dengue like DHFwith bleeding and DSS , and multi organ
failure. When symptomatic, the illness can range from mild to a severe
form and eventually death may occur
which in most cases preceded by shock(DSS). The main mechanism of shock
and severe Dengue include severe plasma leakage, severe bleeding due to either quantitave and
qualitative defect in platelet, increased PT, APT, APTT, increased micro vascular
permeability , several organs involvement
like heart, Liver,CNS, . Any of
serotype DENV1 to DENV-4 can cause any form of the disease and
pathogenesis depend on pre-existing
antibody, previous infection, (immune enhancement), normal antibody in infants,
infecting virus strain , virulence of the virus, host genetic status, and age of patients. The
clinical requirements for diagnosis of
classical DF are[ fever,headache,
myalgia, prostration severe retro orbital pain and skin
rashes]determined by WHO in 2005 and following laboratory criteria these
individuals with positive serology for enzyme method EELISA capture of IgM
capture . The resource poor health system of West Bengal, India should depend
upon simple to perform,to interpret laboratory tests. It is known that early and
specific diagnosis of DHF or DSS followed by supportive therapies can reduce
many mortalities. In that case Ns1 antigen immuno chrmatographic test can help in rural setup.
Atypical
presentation of Dengue found in Kolkata West Bengal in 2012 epidemic included
serosities(50%) encephalitis(10%) myocardities(20%) hepatitis(60%) and
cholecysties. hepatitis. DF patients in that year often showed aprrox 80%
patients above normal raised AST,ALT
ranging between 22- 800 with an
average value 170+_ 192 Iu and ALT value
160+_ 150 iu with median value
92.00iu and 101iu respectively and PT
and APTT value raised in three patients of alteration of liver function
and these patients are mostly of DHF grade II usally happened by 5th-10th
day after onset of dengue. Both protein liver enzymes, GGT, APTT ,PT are scarcely reported related to
dengue virus. One important thing is
that though serum transaminases raises and persisted even after 2 months serum
bilirubin level did not raise or altered much.
Liver is
one of target organ of dengue virus and can be suspected when there is
hepatomegaly increased serum gamma globulin, PT,APTT raised in serum after
infection and there is negetive HBV and HepC infection by serology. Macrophage
migration inhibitory factor(MIF) cytokine,TNF alpha are probable factor that
cause hepatic inflammation in dengue. Active cells of immune system are also
target for dengue virus infection such as dendrytic cells, NK cells, T cells
& B lymho cyte.
The other atypical presentation in 2011 &
2012 DF was neurological symptoms. neurological Symptoms had been recognized
for more then a century, which involves drowsiness, irritability, Short term memory
loss, agitation, depression, mono neural palsies seizure, and even death
.Related to neuron trophic effect of the
virus are encephalitis, meningitis,
myosities, rhabdomyolisis, and mylities. Related to systemic
complication of dengue infection are encephalopathy, Stroke( Both haemmoragic
and Ischemic) hypokalemia, Paralysis, and Papilloedma, Post infection are acute disseminated encephalomyelitis,
Miller Fisher syndrome, Phrenic nueropathy, long thoracic nueropathy,
occulomotor palsy, Macculopathy and complete hemiplegia due to thalamic
involvement[2].
Recent observation in West Bengal
indicate that clinical presentation profile of D F is changing and neurological complication are
being reported more frequently. The exact pathogenesis of neurological
complications is not yet understood but probably is due to cerebral edema, hemorrhage,
heamo concentration, due to increase in vascular permiability &
cougolopathy. One such case was reported from Murshidabad district of West
Bengal[2],of
a female aged 10 years with stroke( glasgo coma scale was -5/15) with left
sided hemiplegia and her serum IgM ELISA antibody test was postive for DNEV-3.
Another 60 years male in 2011 epedemic was diagnosed to be Guillain Barre
Syndrome in DNEV-3 infection and his nerve
injury in Dengue may be mediated by Immunological mechanism.
Though
most cases of Dengue fever in Kolkata seen biphasic in Spring and in
summer time(April & May), but
maximum number of cases detected in 2012 epidemic in August to September. All
age groups were infected but 15-40 years mostly affected with for unknown reasons female preponderance. 70%
cases of DF showed in 2012 complications particularly related to
throbocytopenia induced bleeding manifestations( Platelet count< 1.5 lacks
and ranged between 60,000- 1.4 lacks/mm and bleeding manifestations included
Petechie, purpuria, Tourniquet test positive, hemorrhagic gastritis, haemoptosis, maleana, epistaxis,
hematuria depending on platelet count. About 10-15% patients developed pancriatitis, Few patients
developed rhabdomyolysis, 58% patients
had serosities, 20% had myocardities 20%
had hepatitis& a calculus cholecysities, 5% patients had CNS abnormalities.
In 2012 Death toll reported in West Bengal was more than 15 cases.
The countries those have achieved a decreased
mortality by dengue it had been possible on account of awareness, prevention,
development of training programme for early diagnosis of severe dengue by Rapid
NS1 test and curing DHF and these countries are probably Cuba, El Salvador, Thailand.
For the disease prevention we however
need better understanding of pathogenesis, pathology of this infection. The
highest number of hospitalization for suspected cases of Dengue is usually seen
in Spring and summer time in kolkata . This is the time which can be attributed
to ambient temperature and humidity present in preceding months. Whenever there
is an out break the municipal corporation attempt to kill mosquitos( Dengue is
transmitted by mosquito bites ades
aegypti with urban habits and its
principal vector is Ades Aegipty and ades Albopictus in West Bengal) by
spraying DDT(now resistant),Larvicide sparying
smoke, fumigation on streets, cannels which is worth less procedure as
Ades lives and lays eggs within the room where these DDT or smoke or fumigation
does not rich at home and there is also no vigillance from health or municipal
departments. What is required is community participation and by genetic control
releasing genetically sterile male mosquitoes or candidate vaccine. After
decades of research by different groups around the world Dengue vaccine
development reached a major mile stone in 2010 with initiation of first phase
III clinical trial to investigate a
candidate vaccine. This vaccine is Sanofi Pastuer CYD Tetravalent dengue
vaccine(TDV) which is now being evaluated for protective efficacy in large
scale trial in Latin America and South East Asia
as part of extensive clinical development purpose. The CYDTDV candidate
comprises four recombinant live, attenuated vaccine based on a yellow fever
vaccine 17D(YF17D) back bone, each expressing the pre-membrane and envelop
genes of one of the four serotypes. This Vaccine is genetically and phenotypically
stable non heppatotrophic, less neuron virulent than yellow fever YF 17D and
does not infect mosquito when given by oral route[5]. The
Global clinical development programme included 45,000 participants from 15
countries. More than 23,000 individuals aged 2-45 years received at least one
dose of CYD Dengue Vaccine. Vaccine safety is being monitored by independent
data monitoring committee(IDMC) and so far no safety signals have been identified.
A pooled analysis of safety data available till June 2011 from 5 phase-I
studies(USA , Mexico , Philippines ) and eight Phase-II
studies also revealed no safety concerns
reports of solicited. Reaches and unsolicited adverse events were similar to
those of control vaccine and trend to decrease in frequency after 2nd and 3rd doses vaccination[5]. The most adverse
affect are mild to moderate injection
site pain, erythema, edema, severe headache, fever, malaise, asthenia and myelgia(14-40%) after each vaccination.
All three doses of TDF given 6 months apart. Consistant and balanced antibody
responses to all four serotypes are observed. Until now with more than 11,000
people immunized. There were no Dengue like syndrome associated with CYD dengue
vaccine. No death reported also. However four serious adverse affects occurred(
fatal traffic accident, partial seizure, hepatitis A infection and severe Upper Respiratory Tract Infection)

Age of Universe & Hubble constant=The universe started at 20x1010
(20,0000 millions years ) ago but there are still uncertainty about the ages of
the universe according these authors. Determination of Hydrogen molecule
suggest that H~50Km/s-1MPC-10H-1=20x109
years, while
age old galactic clusters NGC is 10x109 years and the age of
elements obtained from the active isotopes were ~10x109
years. The Freidman and Le -maitre models of universe tell us that the
universe however has a finite age and it must be either expanding or contracting.
The observation that galaxies are in red shift having special features of
shifted to redder wave length in an apparent Doppler recession, strongly
support the expanding universe model. Confidence in the Friedman- le-maitre
model was strengthening further when Edwin Hubble discovered the near
relation between red shift and distances in galaxies in 1929. Hubble
discovered a cosmological
constant and this constant is proportionally is known widely as Hubble constant.
The H(0) is usually expressed in terms of
Kilometers per second per mega Per sec ie 50 Km/s/MPC Hubble constant.
The Hubble parameter is defined as H(t)=1/R(t)xdR(t)/dt, where R(t) is the
scale factor of the universe. Hubble constant is the current value of that
parameter and defined as H0=H(now)=
velocity/distance and is estimated by measuring the velocity and distance of
extra galactic objects. Hubble constant is perhaps the most important parameter in
cosmology because it not only provide us the physical scale of the universe
which affects the observed absolute size, dynamical mass and luminosity of
extra galactic objects but it also provide us estimated age of the universe.
The Hubble constant has the units of inverse time. An estimate of the age of
the universe is the Hubble time 1/H0. This is the approximate age of
a nearly empty universe one, where expansion had not significantly been solved
by its mass energy content. A new Model called Ω=1 model, whereΩ is ratio of the
universe mass energy density to the critical value required for binding. In the Friedman- Le maitre models the expansion rate of the
universe approaches 0 as time approaches and the current age of the universe will be then(2/3) H0-1 is then
Age=1/H0[(1-2q0)-1-q0(1-2q0)-3/2
cos h-1(1/q0-1)] where the de-acceleration parameter q0
is (1/2)Ω the ratio of the universe mean mass density to the closer density[
Bhattacharya Rupak and Bhattacharya Pranab Kumar-unpublished data & equation
Published in this blog Do not try to do plagiarism]
The age of the universe
when H0 is of 50KmS-1MPC-1 gives an age of near 20
billions years
while an H0 of 10050KmS-1MPC-1 in
an empty universe roughly correspond to an age of 10 billion years. But
the Cepheid variables are the bright stars where brightness varies
periodically on time scale between one and hundred days. The period of Cepheid is
very tightly correlated with its brightness. So they are the excellent indicators of
distances of expanding universe and also the age of the universe. Cephids are most
distant galaxies of the observable universe and are figured
prominently in the extragalactic distance scale. Cepheid first gave us the idea
that other galaxies lay outside our Milky way galaxy. Virgo cephid or
Virgo galaxy clusters are so far
farthest, twice as far as the most distant previously measured cephids. They
are now measured by Hubble Space Telescope(HST). New example of Virgo cephid H0=87±
7 Kms-1MPC-1. The galaxy there NGC 4571 is in the core of
Virgo clusters galaxy. Again Taking H0 as H0=87± 7 Kms-1MPC-1
as short value ( H0=80-100 Kms-1MPC-1)
[Picture

Rupak Bhattacharya]
and long value H0=50 Kms-1MPC-1)
will after the age of the universe for 20 billions years to 11.2±0.9 billions
years and 7.3±billions years for Ω=0 model and Ω=1 model respectively. The absence of
accelerating force for the age of universe is less then 1/H0 and in standard Big Bang Model is 2/3x1/H0 0r 7x109 years.
In contrast some stars are thought to be 8x109 years old, .So here starts the crisis regarding the age of the universe
what these authors feels. In Freidman Universe model, Freidman et al calculated Ho=80+17 Kms-1MPC-1
implying the age of the universe 9x109 years. In that case, identifying 20 cephid variables in m 100
a beautiful spiral galaxy in Virgo. However if we are ready to accept the
theory that age of the universe is estimated from the cosmological model based
on Hubble constant, as per this model the age
of universe will be 13.7±0.2GYR ie 13.7 billions years old.
Though a big bang like event happened in the
early universe, universe
spent a period of time in the early phase (1s Planck’s time) in a super cooled
stage[About
400,000 years after the Big Bang, that the cosmos had cooled sufficiently for
protons and electrons to recombine into atoms]. In the super cooled stage its
density (3K) was then dominated by large positive constant vacuum energy and
false vacuum. The
super cooled stage was then followed by appearance of multiple bubbles
inflation. The temperature variation occurred in 3K cosmological
background imprinted some 10~35
second in pre- inflationary stage and grand unified theory [GUT] happened there
with generation of trillions and trillions degrees of temperature. As per old
inflationary theory of Big Bang, there appeared multiple bubbles of
true vacuum and inflation blowed up a small casually connected region of the
universe that was some thing much like the observable universe of today.
This actually preceded large scale cosmological homogeneity & were reduced
to an exponentially small number the present density of any magnetic monopoles,
that according to many of particle physicists GUT & would have been
produced in the pre-inflationary phase. In the old inflationary theory the
universe must be homogeneous in all its direction and was no doubt
isotropic. In old inflation theory, the super cooled stage was married by
appearance of bubbles of the true vacuum, the broken symmetry of ground state. The model of old inflation
theory however was later on abandoned, because the exponential
expansion of any super cooled state always present the bubbles from merging and
complicate the phase transition. More over in true sense,
universe is not totally homogenous but in small scale non homogenous too.
It is very much a well known fact that
universe contain a critical density of matter (3K) and infinite space-time. The
matters are mostly baryonic and Mixed Dark matter [MDM]. Through COBE
satellite studies, we know that the early universe was consisted of
mixture of Cold Dark matter and hot dark Matter, which is known altogether as
Mixed Dark Matter [MDM]. Most Red shift survey had been either shallow
(Z=<0.03), three dimensional survey of few thousands of galaxies covering a
large angle or somewhat deeper (Z>0.05). So argument still persist about the mechanism by which
galaxies/first generation stars were formed in the early universe?. The essence of the problem
is so high level physics that while galaxies were on average, uniformly
distributed through out the volume of the universe, as it should be in the
Inflationary “ Big Bang” model, the observed distribution of both optically
visible and radio galaxies on the sky were not uniform. But very much patchy( Authors Prof Pranab
Kumar Bhattacharya’s Concept only). Does this clumsiness’ represent
that the distribution of matter at some primeval stage in the evolution of the
universe or there had been some kind of gravitational process?. Ostriker and
cowie in the journal Astrophysics (Vol 243; P127; 1981) had suggested that
the present distribution of galaxies are in the relic of a dynamic process, in
which an outward propagating shock wave created an earlier generation of
galaxies. Created galaxies at some places were of high density on shock front.
But the problem of their theory to present authors are that the
empirical rule, which says that the chance finding of a second galaxy
within same value unit at a distance of “S” is proportional to an inverse power
of ”S”, which simply means that there is a greater chance that galaxies will be
close together than it is far apart. Secondly the distribution of galaxies in
the universe may have a fractal three-dimensional structure. The most
spectacular of large voids in three dimensions of galaxies is the BOTES VOID.
-A region at least 50 MPS in diameter that contain no luminous galaxies. Why? A
survey of large-scale galaxies distributions reveals that the “ Large Voids “
were not the exception, but the rule. The survey was the systemic collection of
Red Shifts of all galaxies of apparent magnitude brightness than 15.5 in a
region measuring 6 degrees by 12 degrees on the sky. These Red Shifts via
“Hubble laws” provides us a three dimensional map of galaxy distribution in a
limited volume of the universe. Inspection of the map of the galaxy revealed a
striking result- large apparently empty, quase spherical “Voids” dominate space
& time and galaxies are crammed into the thin shits and ridges in between
hole. (Joseph Sick- Nature-Vol.320; P12; 1986) Joseph Sick discussed in
his article published in Nature (Vol 320; p12; 1986) that galaxies were
distributed in a thin slice of universe to 150 MPC. The red shift measurement
of galaxies however reveals a foamy and clustered distribution of galaxies in
the universe. Most of them lying on a sheet, surrounding large, almost empty
holes up to 50 MPC According to Ostriker and Cowie, an explosion initiated by
many supernovas in a newly formed galaxy drive a blast wave, which propagated
outward and swept up a spherical shell of ambient gas. A hole was thus
evacuated and the unstable compressed shell fragmented to form more galaxies.
These in turn developed blast waves and a series of bubbles developed that
filled most of the spaces with galaxies (Jeremiath Ostriker & Lennoy Cowie-
Astrophysics journal letter Vol 243; P127; 1981) and published independently by
Satron Ikeuchi-Astronomical Society of Japan Vol, 33; P211; 1981) But the problem of this
hypothesis before present authors are * 1) possibility of the
mechanism itself- Supernova exploded and cleared out holes that are
tens or in rare cases hundreds of parsec cross? And* 2) did this
phenomenon really worked out on scale of MPC? *3) Billions of supernovae were presumed to be exploded
coherently over the crossing time of galaxy of about 108 years to
yield a vast explosion 4) Next is the missing
ingredients which is Gravity. Density fluctuations were present at
the beginning of the time in the earliest instants of the” Big Bang gospel” and
the gravity amplified the fluctuation into large-scale structure of the
universe. Most cosmologists& theoretical
physicists believe today that galaxies were originated in this manner rather
then by explosive amplification of primordial seeds which themselves must be
attributed into initial condition.
A “giant hole” in
the universe had been a discovered by astronomers from Minnesota in 2009 January. Investigating an
area of the sky known as the WMAP Cold Spot, Lawrence Rudnick and colleagues
found a void empty of stars, gas and even dark matter. As AP’s widely
circulating report notes, the hole is big: an “expanse of nearly 6 billion
trillion miles of emptiness” Astronomers have long known that there are big
voids in the universe, and think they can explain them with their theories as
to how large scale structures first formed.[ Daniel Cressey”
Plenty of nothing - August 24, 2007The Great Beyond Nature.Com
http://blogs.nature.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-tb.cgi/3329].our Galaxy, the Milky Way, contains also disks
of ‘dark matter. Dark’ matter is always invisible but its
presence can be inferred through its gravitational influence on its
surroundings. Dark matter particles is neutral it does not couple directly to
the electromagnetic field, and hence annihilations straight into two
monochromatic photons (or a photon and a Z boson) are typically strongly
suppressed. γ-rays can be a
significant by-product of dark matter annihilations, since they can arise
either from the decay of neutral pions produced in the hadronization of the
annihilation products, or through internal bremsstrahlung associated into charged
particles, with annihilations into charged particles,
interactions of energetic leptons. In the Lattanzi & Silk models the annihilation
results in two neutral Z bosons Or a pair
of W+ and W. bosons, and the dominant source of γ-rays is neutral
pion decay. Form_ = 4.5 TeV, every annihilation results in 26
photons with energies between 3 and 300GeV.
Physicists
today believe that dark matter makes up 22% of the mass of the Universe
(compared with the 4% of normal matter and 74% comprising the mysterious ‘dark
energy’). But, despite its pervasive influence, even today no-one is sure what
dark matter consists of. It was thought that dark matter forms in roughly
spherical lumps called ‘halos’, one of which envelopes the Milky Way and other
spiral galaxies. Stars and gas are thought to have settled into disks very
early on in the life of the Universe and this affected how smaller dark matter
halos formed. Such a theory suggest that
most lumps of dark matter in our locality actually merged to form a halo around
the Milky Way. But the largest lumps were preferentially dragged towards the
galactic disk and were then torn apart, creating a disk of dark matter within
the Galaxy. The presence of unseen haloes of Dark matter had long been inferred
from high rotation speed of Gas and stars in outer part of spiral galaxies. The
volume of density of these dark matter decreases less quickly from the galactic
center than does heat luminous mass such as that in stars meaning that dark
matter dominates the mass from the center of galaxies. A spiral galaxy is
composed of thin disk of young stars called( population I stars) whose local
surface brightness falls exponentially with cylindrical distances from galactic
center and with height above galactic plane.
The
concept of biasing the formation of large scale structure of universe
was first introduced by Nick Kaisar in journal of Astrophysics (Peacock
.JA &Heavens A.F- Monday Nottingham. Royal Astronomical Society Vol 217;
P805; 1985 &BardenJ. Bond .Jr, Kaiser. N. Eszalay –Journal of Astrophysics).
Galaxies were presumed only to form in the rare peaks of an initial gaussian
distribution of density fluctuation. The average density of universe is roughly
1031gcm-3 which is less than 10% of critical Density( K)
of present universe.[ The matter of
which universe is made of 42.3% is CDM matter and 73% is dark energy]
Density fluctuation peaks that occurred in a potential large-scale cluster
acquired with slight boost that enabled galaxies to form. The biasing
hypothesis enhanced the large-scale structure that developed as gravitational
forces amplified the initial fluctuations. Biasing hypothesis enabled
stimulation of a universe containing “cold Dark Matter” at the critical
density, with observational determination of density perturbation of the universe.
Density Fluctuation was present at the beginning of Time in the earliest
instants of the Big Bang and the Gravity amplified the fluctuations into
large-scale structure of our universe. The “Voids “ were
not really voids but contained matter that had some how failed to become
luminous. The Dark matter was more
uniformly distributed than the luminous matter and does not respond to most
of astronomical tests. The universe is now populated with non-luminous
component of matter (Dark Matter) made of weakly interacting massive
particles which does cluster in galactic scale and designated ΩDM≈0.15-0.35. The dark matter was weakly
interacting and was clustered in all scale (hence labeled as cold). It
selectively formed galaxies at an early epoch in the rare density peaks. The Cosmic Back ground Explorer study announced
on 18th nov’1990 that COBE
had used its liquid helium cooled detectors to make stunningly accurate
measurement of BIG Bang after glow .The
COBE study was based on microwave background radiation that bathes every object
in the universe with a cool wash of photon 2.7K. COBE study conferred that
the Big Bang was a remarkably smooth and homogeneous event. The COBE study
consistently pegged its temperature at about 2.7 K_ what was predicted by Standard
Big Bang Model which holds that radiation was emitted by cosmic fire ball just
a few hundred years after the Big Bang moment it self and cooling off ever
since then. George Smoot[2006 Nobel
Laureate in Physics] and his colleagues of Barkley university used
differential microwave radiometer to look for anisotropic variations in the
brightness of radiation from point to point of the sky. They presumably
corresponded to density variation in the cosmic plasma shortly after the Big
Bang and these variation are in turn presumably the clumps of matter that
CONTRACTED BY GRAVITY TO FORM THE GALAXIES. The problem was that anisotropies
if they existed at all, were so weak that it was hard to see now that how they
had contracted into much of galaxies. Any clump that was going to form a galaxy
needs to be heavy enough to fight cosmic expansion which tends to pull the
material apart almost as fast as gravity can pull it together. COBE showed no anisotropy at all to an
accuracy of one part in 104to one part 105 and it was
DARK MATTER. This Dark matter consisted of some kind of massive but weakly
interacting elementary particles produced in the Big Bang. The cosmic back
ground explorer study(COBE) satellite study was undertaken by leadership of
George Smoot considers the Big Bang very seriously. Microwave Background Study also provided BIG Bang COBE study had
spotted millionth of a degree variations in the temperature of microwave left
over from Big Bang traces of the early universe .Images of the cosmic microwave
background, the radiation left over from the Big Bang, provide the earliest
snapshots of the cosmos—from when it was only about 400,000 years old only The model of MDM of the universe is consistent
with homogeneous inflation theory and large-scale density fluctuation and
galaxies distribution that happened in the early universe. It was the Merry
Gelman, who first described the nature of earliest particles in the universe.
According to her “ it was quark particles in quantum theories.” Actually
speaking, the quest for the early Universe had provided the particle physicists
with an unrivalled accelerator of high-energy particles. The Grand Unification
Theory (GUT) based on ‘Gauge Symmetry” say that Proton (Nucleon) should decay
with half-life of at most 1031 Years. But while isolating the rarest events due to spontaneous decaying of protons, extensive
shielding from atmospheric “ Muon” produced by cosmic rays showers were also
regarded and primary result once was reported at Geneva , Switzerland .
This experiment was carried out us provided in deep underground Kolar Gold
field, Kamoka. This experiment provided us the most sensitive limit so far,
that the half-life of proton is 1.5x 1032years. This half-life of
proton is close to the age of the elements obtained from Radioactive isotopes
~10X109years.This experiments had great implications to
astrophysicists in that 1) possible explanation of ratio of proton to photon in
the universe. Since the photons now seen in 3K-background radiation are the
remnants of equal numbers of particles and antiparticles created during the
thermal equilibrium of first instants of the Universe. This particle was Merry
Gelman’s quark particles and its antiparticles were antiquarks. Today’s
observed proton [matter] represent an excess of matter after antimatter. This
is the asymmetry in Universe. This asymmetry probably had arisen naturally
after 10-35seconds of initial Big bang. However Madsen and Mark
Tailor gave the concept of another particles in the primordial universe. The
name of their particles is ‘ Neutrinos”. There are broadly three (3)
species of ‘Neutrinos”. I) Electron
neutrinos 2) Muon neutrinos 3) and tat neutrinos. To start the universe i.e.
before nucleosynthesis, neutrinos should have a zero mass, which can support at
least a hypothesis and theories of large-scale structure of universe. According
to Maiden and Tailor, the Dark Matter of which this universe consisted of were
the neutrinos and not the quarks.
How did the cosmic Dark Age
ended and when did the first star lit up in the universe in a few hundred
millions years after the Big Bang?
According to the standard Model of Big Bang
Star formation in the early universe was very different from the present now.
Star today form in the giant clouds of molecular gas and dust embedded in the
disk of large galaxies like our milky ways. Where as the first stars evolved
inside “Mini holes” agglomerates of primoriadial gas and dark matter with a
total mass of millions times of our Sun. Another difference arises for the initial
absences of elements, other then hydrogen and helium that were synthesized in
the big bang. Gas clouds today be efficiently via radiation emitted by atoms
molecule or dust grains that contain heavy elements. Because the primoridial
gas lacked those coolants it remained comparatively hot. For gravity to
overcome when the higher thermal pressure, the mass of all first stars must had
been larger as well. The emergence of first stars fundamentally changed the
early universe at the end of cosmic dark ages. Owing to the high masses these
stars were copious. They also produced many ultraviolet photons that were
energetic enough to ionize hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe.
Thus began the extended process ”re-Ionization” which transformed the universe
from the completely cooled and dark material state into fully ionized medium.
Observation of CMB due to scattering of CMB photons of free electrons, phase constrains
in the onset of re-ionization. How the first stars formed and how they affected
the evolution of cosmos assumes that dark matter is made up of WIMP-yet
undetected because they interact with normal matter only via gravity and weak
nuclear interactions. A possible WIMP candidate is the Neutrions particles, the
lightest super partner in mass super symmetry theory but not zero mass
particles. Super symmetry postulated that for every known particle there must
be a super partner thus affectively doubling mass of the elementary particles.
Most of the super particles that were produced after the Big Bang (including Rupak
particles also] were unstable and decayed. The neutrinos is expected to be
rather massive having roughly the mass of hundred of protons, so are a part of
cosmos.
Most of the matter in the universe did not
interact then with light except gravitationally. These dark matter assumed to
be very intensively cold, that is its velocity dispersion was sufficiently
small for density perturbation imprinted in the early universe to persist in a
very small sale. Dark matter has yet to be detected in the human laboratories.
However there might exist some viable
dark matter candidates from particle physics that were not cold. They may be
termed as Warm Dark Matter(WDM) as per present authors .Warm dark matter
particles had intensive thermal velocities and there motion quench the growth
of structure bellow a “ free streaming scale”{ the distances over which a
typical WDM particles travel}, which depend on the nature of the particle,
because small and dark haloes do not form better then free streaming scale. The
dark matter haloes that formed the galaxies in a WDM model had far less
substructures and were less concentrated as compared to the cold dark
matter(CDM) counterparts. The first generation of stars in the universe formed
when primoridial gas compressed by falling into these small dark matter
potential wells. Large scale partner in the spectrum of density perturbation
causes progenitors of present day clusters of galaxies to be among the first
objects to condense out of the initially almost smooth mass distribution.
Lang Gao & Tom Thennus[science 317:14th
Sept:Page1527:2007] did studied the early star formation in the red shift Z=0
and they concluded that pristine gas heat and it falls into the dark matter
potential Well [halos) cools radiatively because of formation of molecular
hydrogen and became self gravitating. They told
another important particle- called- Gravitinos_ a popular WDM candidate

filaments and sheets which is familiar form the local large scale distribution
of Galaxies. In assumed Gaussian spectrum of density perturbation appropriate
for an inflationary model lead collapse along one(sheet) and two(filaments) direction before
formation of Haloes. Altogether the large scale filamentary pattern is very
similar in CDM &WDM. This structure of filaments themselves were very
different. The CDM filaments fragmented later into numerous nearly spherical high
density regions(haloes) and WDM filaments fragmented at red shift Z=23.34 when
universe was 140 millions years old. Gas and Dark matter accreted perpendicular
and to filament axis. Dark matter particles falling into filaments performed
damped oscillations as the potential well deepened. Baryons did not under go
orbit but gas compressed to a temperature T~7000K atγ~ 20Pc. Rapid build up of
H2 induced cooling and gas started to dominate the density.

There are about 1018
million of galaxies in the Universe, and there exist vast empty 3D
dimensional space-time is between them. How much distance from one galaxy to
another? "Cephids" can be used as a distant indicator to about 10 million light
years, which is equivalent to 4 million persec. These galaxies are
distributed through out the Universe. Galaxies are of different type and
configurations. Some are spiral galaxies, some are
non-spiral galaxies Amongst all the galaxies in the Universe, a
small minority of the galaxies are spiral galaxies i.e. disc shaped galaxies
(some are again of thin disc and some are of thick disc). There are non spiral
galaxies also and most of the galaxies in the
Universe are of non spiral (without disc) and majority of them are elliptical
galaxies and rare verities are lenticular galaxies. Our "Milky
way" is the local group of spiral galaxies. It is our home galaxy. Our Milky way galaxy is a spiral galaxy – a massive and a big galaxy
at least 250 billions of solar mass MO and is a disk like of a diameter 100,000
light years. The light at its speed cross from one end to another
end takes almost one lack years. It consists beside trillions numbers of stars contain also 1022
planets and thousands of clusters of nebulae (nebulae are of various
types like diffuse nebulae, planetary nebulae, supernova remnants, and dark
nebulae), supernovas
and globular clusters. The mass
of the Milky way is probably in between 750 billion & one trillions of
solar mass. Milky
way is a spial galaxy of Hubble Sb or Sc type. So Milky Way has pronounced disk
component exhibiting the spiral structure and a prominent nuclear region, which
is a part of a notable buldge/ halo component. Milky way galaxy belongs to
local group, a smaller group of three large and over 30 small galaxies and
second largest galaxy in the universe. Milky way galaxy contain many clusters of galaxies.
They are 1) Mosiac of Milky way extending from
Saggittarius galaxy to Cassiopeia
Galaxy. 2 Ophiuchus galaxy and 2 globular clusters 3)Theta Ophiuchi 4) Scorpius
& saggituris galaxy 5) Serpens 6) starclouds in Sagittarius 7) Sagittarius M8 8) Aquita & Sagittarius
M69) Western Aquita 10) Gamma Cygni galaxy 11)
Alpha cygni galaxy and so many. The milky way appears to be brightest in
the direction of Sagittarius where the galactic center lies. Relative to the
celestial equator, the Milky Way passes as far north as the constellation of
Cassiopeia and as far south as the constellation of Crux. This reflex the fact
that the earth axis of rotation is highly inclined to the normal to the
galactic plane The galactic disk of milky way has a diameter of about 100,000
light years, The
distance from our Sun to the galactic center of our Milky way is about 27,7000
light years. The center of our galaxy is one of the highest infra
Red sources of sky. It is about thousands time brighter in the infrared then in
radio wave length. Infra
red observation show that the center of our Milky Way is orbiting very rapidly. The
center of Milky way is not visible at optical wave length because it is hidden
behind numerous clouds of star gas and dusts. However we can view the center of
Milky Way at infrared sources as infrared can easily penetrate gas and dusts. The
Milky Way contain over 200 billions numbers of stars more massive then our sun.
The amount of mass inside suns orbiting only around galactic center is
9.0x1016M0. The stars in the galactic disk rotate around
galaxy’s center, which is suspected to harbor a super massive black hole. There are believed to be
four-mazor spiral arm and at least two smaller arms, which all start at the
galaxy’s center. They are named as follows 1) Norma arms 2) Scutum arm 3)
Sagittarius arm 4) Orion arm 5) Pursues arm 6) outer arm. The distance between the local arm to the next arm’ Peruses
arm” is about 65,000 light years. Each spiral arm describes a logthermic
spiral. The disk is surrounded by halo of old stars and globular
clusters. Our sun is located at an extreme distance of the disk. The disk of
the milky way has four spiral arms that we described a little ago. The disk is
approximately 300 Pc thick and 30KPc in diameter. It is made up of
predominantly of Population I star [see star formation] which tends to be blue
stars and reasonably spanning an age range between a million and ten billions
years old. The buldge at the center of Milky Way is a flattened spheroid of
dimension of 1KPc /6KPc. This is a high density region with population II stars
which tends towards red and are very old stars about 10 billions years old. The
halo, which is a spherical region surround the disk .It, has low density of old
stars mainly in form of globular clusters [each globular clusters consist of
stars between 10,000- 1lack]. The halo is believed to be composed of mainly
cold dark matter 9CDM) which may extend beyond the edge of the disk. The local
group of galaxies is probably millions of light years away from our A.G.N.
When Did the First Cosmic Structures Form as
galaxy? Quasars
are probably the first cosmic structure probably formed in our cosmos . Quasars are most distant and distinct
objects that astronomers have been able to directly detect. Because of their
intrinsic brightness, the most distant quasars are seen at a time when the
universe was one tenth of its present age, roughly a billion years after the Big Bang
moment . However, astronomers believe that some objects must have
formed earlier than quasars, because the ambient gas in the universe is
observed to be ionized
at a relatively early time, presumably due to ionizing radiation from a
population of early objects. Since ionized gas can interact with cosmic
microwave background photons, WMAP observations help to elucidate the nature of the ionized gas
and the objects that caused the ionization. Since light travels at a finite
speed, distant objects are seen as they existed in the past. We see the Sun not
as it is now, but how it was just eight minutes ago. (The so the Sun which we see at a moment time today
is eight light minutes away from the Earth). We see the nearby stars as they
were several years ago. We see Andromeda, the nearest spiral galaxy as it was
roughly 2.5 million years ago how it was . Thus, the most distant objects that
we see are the oldest objects that we can directly detect.
What is Quasars?
Quasars
are the most distant distinct objects that astronomers have been able to detect. In
a region smaller than our solar system, a quasar in fact emits more & more light than our
total entire Milky Way galaxy emits light.
Can you imagine that ? But Quasars are again believed
to be super massive black holes, whose masses exceed that of a million Suns,
and whose pull is swallowing gas and stars from their host galaxies. Then black
holes also emits light. They do shine brightly by converting the gravitational
energy of the in falling Astronomers and physicists are not till date certain
what objects ionized the gas(Mixed dark matter oe WIMP) in the early universe
nor do they know at what time this ionization occurred. Some speculate that an
early generation of massive stars ionized the
gas. Others speculate that most galaxies contain super massive black holes and
that the formation of these super massive black holes illuminated the early
universe. When Was then Gas Ionized is
our question ? While observations of quasars enable astronomers to infer that the gas
was ionized within the first billion years of the universe, we need to observe
something more distant than quasars to learn when the gas was first ionized: the cosmic
microwave background radiation. Since
the cosmic microwave background photons were emitted roughly 380,000 years
after the Big Bang, much earlier than the photons from quasars, their
properties tell us about the subsequent evolutionary history of the universe.
Microwave photons move freely through neutral gas, but they scatter off of
ionized gas. This scattering reduces the amplitude of fluctuations
in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background and produces new
"polarized" microwave background fluctuations.
material into light. The
most distant quasars are seen at a time when the universe was one tenth its
present age, roughly a billion years after the Big BangWhat Ionized the Gas in the Early Universe? Scattered light is often polarized. On a bright day, we see not only sunlight directly from the Sun, but also light that scatters off of dust in the air. This scattered light, or "glare", is polarized and can thus be filtered out by a good pair of polarized sunglasses. Similarly, scattered cosmic microwave background photons are polarized by scattering off of free electrons in the early universe. WMAP is designed to detect polarized photons. In principal, their properties reveal the number of free electrons in the early universe and the ionization history of the universe. This enables astronomers to infer that the first objects in the universe capable of ionizing the gas formed at about 200 million years after the Big Bang. We hope that the time history of the ionization will help determine the nature of these first objects
How the spiral galaxies were formed? Before formation of the galaxies, there were pre galactic clouds which is consisted of gaseous substance. Sir James Jeans first proposed that when the same density perturbation exist in the homogenous gas clouds and when clouds exceeds a certain limit, the cloud suffer an instability. As a result the cloud begins to collapse. The Jeans critical mass (Mj) was described as follows.
MJ=1023(T/U)3/2-1/2p
gm
[Where
"P" is the density, "T" is the Temperature and fl is
the mean molecular weight of cloud. ]
The pre galactic
gaseous mass were above the critical mass and as a result this pre galactic
gaseous clouds collapsed owing to density perturbation. The mass of discrete
such clouds was about 1014-1015 MO which is typical for
the mass of super cluster in the present Universe. Now the
fragmentation process carried on within the super clusters. The denser central
region of the collapsing gas cloud collapsed more rapidly than the outer
region and became more and more dense. Ultimately it became so compact that
instability set in and it was fragmented in pieces. Each individual fragment
continued to collapse and was re fragmented and the process went on until star
formation set in. Thus Super clusters collapsed and fragmented resulting
cluster of galaxies which in course of time again fragmented into galaxies. -If
further fragmentation would continue, one would star clusters from where baby
stars generated. If we observe today at high galactic latitude, we can see
hydrogen clouds .concentrated in a thin layer around the galactic plane, which
is moving with a very fast velocity about 5 Km S-I. There are
several such gaseous clouds with very high velocity up to 200 Km S-I.
The distributions of gases are extremely uneven. It is concentrated in clouds
(dark matters) of different sizes. This cloud matter are probably still in
extra galactic system or even in the protogalactic system. Now, the
spiral galaxy system evolution resulted when the protogalactic gasses or clouds
detached itself from the surrounding Universe. They then gained angular momentum,
at the moment of their detachment. There was a minimum radius for the
"cell" bellow which it no longer contained the necessary angular
momentum. For our spiral galaxy "Milky way" the minimum radius
reached, suppose at the time "t" when the radius of the Universe
"p" was about 1/25th of the present radius Ro. And that was the time
when the "Cell" spiral galaxy had a large amount of angular momentum.
There was of course radial stream momentum as well as transverse stream
momentum in the cell. All these momentum resulted initiation of rotation. The
angular momentum in the "Cell" containing cloud gasses gave spiral
galaxy due to the collapse of the part of the gas, (Fig-I) It happened probably
at the time of about 109 years, a little shorter then the age of the
Universe 1010 years (1000 billion years). The radial stream
force should diminish the Universe expansion locally. They will not in 'general
eliminate it entirely and so the spiral galaxy will expand some time. But it
will also collapse again, due to angular momentum in about again 109 years
beyond the present time. Now the question remain to us if the galaxies would be
formed where the velocity gradient happened to be favorable for spiral
galaxies, then there may be many other areas where no such function was
possible. So then, in those areas, we should have direct evidence of inter
galactic matter. There must be considerable quantities of C D M matter in the
local group galaxies, besides that they concentrated in galaxy. The "Milky
way" galaxy is such a spiral arm galaxy. The spiral arm structure of
our galaxy can be traced by radio wave -demonstration of interstellar hydrogen
at a wave length 21 cm where neutral hydrogen is used as a tracer element to
delineate the spiral arm and the galactic disks, in which gasses are largely
concentrated. By these study, the position of various concentration of.
Hydrogen, which can be seen in each line of sign are indicatated by filled
circles. A series of small open circles correspond to a broad peak on the
profile indicate a spiral arm. There are significant differences in the neutral
hydrogen distribution on the two side of the galaxy. In the outer region, the
peaks of the spiral arm are less pronounced on the southern side of the galaxy
then they are on the northern side. This galaxy shows multi armed structure.
The arm shows geometrical trailing tendency clock wise. The neutral hydrogen is
confined mostly in the thin layer in the galactic disc.
The Active galactic
neucleus (AGN) like other spiral galaxies, is the central
region of our galaxy. What is present at the center?
It
is yet a great puzzle to us. There are many theories. A bright quarser! A black
hole! A neutron star! Or globular clusters! The concept that the center of our
galaxy might explode with the violence of a bright quarsar, by "Lorry
Niven" in his book "Ring World" (Gollancz publishers-1970).
According to him, this galaxy will turn into a quarsar, and once, the blast of
light, electromagnetic radiations and very high energy particles will reach to
us. Since, we orbit round the center of our galaxy, at a distance of about 10
Kilo Persec, then it is however possible that the nucleus of our galaxy had
already exploded in the past 30,000 years and we have not yet know about it.
The light from such an explosion along with cosmic ray particles will take much
long time to reach to us. And if this happened in reality in past time, then the
blast particles from the quarser at the center of our galaxy, as soon as will
reach to us, will destroy the total civilization. It may happen on any day, any
time. The center region of our galaxy, like the central region of other spiral
galaxies contain globular clusters. However the feature is consistent with the
elliptical galaxies "Spherical type". These globular cluster contain
the oldest stars of the galaxy, and their formation was clearly related to the
formation of the first component of our galaxy as we have told early, Then one
question appears to us "is it the fact that all the galaxies forming, at
initial phase were elliptical one? and then under gravitational influence of
central retarded core, some of them turned into spiral galaxies? Then another
question appears to us, where from the material came for formation of disc of
the spiral galaxy?
How could these
globular clusters form at AGN? The another big question!
The Conventional view is that they were
produced by collapse of greater region of self gravitating gasses that became
spiral galaxy as we have shown in above picture (Fig. 1). And if we take the
concept of globular clusters at our AGN, there remains no possibility of
explosion of our AGN. like that of a "quarser" or "Sey fert
galaxies". These bright globular clusters were formed at the earliest
stage of the development of our galaxy, and these globular clusters are
brightest at a distance 30,000 light years. (It is the distance of ours, from
galactic center, at some direction). Each globular clusters were formed of tens
of thousands of stars, and more than few hundred globular clusters are
associated with AGN of our "Milky Way”. The most exciting theory is
"Black hole" at the center of our spiral galaxy. Where from the black
holes came in center? Then black holes has to be originated in the birth
time of the galaxy or in the "Big Bang" time, or the black
holes grew from the globular cluster? The x-ray sources have now been
identified with globular clusters, and this has encouraged the speculation that
there might be a massive black holes like "SgRA" at our galactic
nucleus. The Globular clusters show no sign of exploding like "Sey
fert" galaxies, or quarsers and may stay retarded for ever as simple
massive black hole or perhaps they burst their bounds very soon after the
"Big Bang" in the galaxy and settled down into a long life of
respectability as quiet collapsed objects. Our spiral galaxy has a dark halo
extending 50 KPC to 100 KPC at its center. The shape of the halo is unknown.
The gamma ray observatory (GRO) satellite found distribution of γ-ray on the
sky and the γ ray burst was isotropic. The source of the gamma ray is
non solar origin and is either in an extended galactic halo or at cosmological
distance. So the most conservative
approach is to assume that the halo at the center of our galaxy is of old
population of type II accreting neutron stars and thus the halo emits y ray
bursts. The distribution of neutron stars have an isotropic
distribution in the galactic center. Our
galaxy have spiral arms. Successful efforts to trace the spiral
structure of our galaxy began in 1940s. Spectroscopic studies show that spiral arms themselves are made of mainly
neutral hydrogen gasses and young hot stars. Measuring directly the
concentration of hydrogen gas by its emission at 21 cm wave length. Our spiral
arms show to contain huge concentration of hydrogen gasses. Other method of
tracing the spiral structure is (1) tracing
the young stars (0 and B stars). They are so common in our spiral
structure, as if they are lighting the path of the spiral structure, like
street lamps lighting a twisted road. (2) Co line luminosity of the spiral
structure. Hydrogen mass of the galaxy can be calculated from the co line
luminosity of a galaxy accordingly MH2/L’co = (4u/3Ï€ G)1/2(n
(H2)1/2Tb), where (4μ/3μG)1/2 =2.1 MΘ
(K. KmS-1Pc2)-1cm3/2K and n (H2) is the
hydrogen density (P Solomon-Nature vol. 356, P. 318-19, 1992). Our galaxy
contain trillions of stars.
Our
galaxy has a spin rotation. Every spiral galaxies does rotate. Elliptical
galaxies do not rotate very much. Our "Milky Way" is a very slow
rotating galaxy. It rotates in its spiral arm "a few cm", once in
every 10 million years. Where from the rotation came? Who set the
spiral galaxies to rotate? It is the Soviet Astronomer V.A. Ambartsumian, who
gave a theory that galaxies are formed by a process of ejection from the
parent galaxies, by a violent outbursts from the galactic nuclei, he told that
spiral galaxies form in pairs, and that when two nuclei from one cosmic gusher
to become the new pair of spirals, they split up with opposite rotation,
relative to each other due to equal and opposite amount of angular momentum.
So in that case there must be a link material or link bridge between the two
spiral galaxy and each spiral galaxy must contain its companion galaxy. The
"Whirlpool galaxy" M51 with its companion is the classical
example of such a theory of Ambartsumian. Actually M 51 first revealed the
astronomers about the existence of other spiral galaxies in the Universe. It
has a very clear, beautiful spiral pattern, with bright young stars, edged by a
lane of dark material, sweeping out from the center in two opposite arms. This
M 61 has a bridge material which extends from one of the spiral arm to its companion
galaxy, small and bright, made of same kind of materials. The spiral arm of M51
is radio spiral, and two strong spiral arms running along the inner edge of the
spiral pattern of bright young (0 & B stars) stars. The spiral arm contain
great quantities of neutral hydrogen gas, like ours "Milky way". The
radio evidence also clearly reveals that lane of hydrogen gasses extended
across the bridge to its companion galaxy. This companion galaxy makes the end
of one of the two major spiral arms. But the difficulties of Ambartsumian
theory is that our galaxy and majority of spiral galaxies has no companion
galaxy like M51
Our spiral galaxy is not any thing new or special in the
Universe. Besides our "Milky way", there are at least 63 spiral
galaxies (Catalogued so far) known, who have velocities 800 Kms.l. Spiral
structures has also variability, some are tightly wound, others are open
spirals. IRAS study has detected a spiral galaxy with a distant red shift
Z=2.286. It is IRAS 10214+4724 galaxy with most intrinsically luminous objects
in the universe α=1014LΘ (LΘ=Solar luminosity) The total mass of
neutral molecular hydrogen in the IRAS 10214+4724 is 2-6 X 1011 M0. This mass
is compatible to total mass of a large spiral galaxy. "Co luminosity is
recent technique to estimate the H2 mass in the spiral galaxy, and IRAS
10214+4724 galaxy has a Co luminosity at least 20 times than that of local
group galaxy. Its hydrogen mass is roughly equal to total mass of large spiral
galaxy like the "Milky way" (P.M. Solomon Nature vol 356, 26th March
P. 318-19, 1992). 90% of the galaxy contain stars and 10% gasses (The total
agglomeration of molecular gas in Milky way is 106-107
M0).
