Multiwavelength Atlas of Galaxies
The Multiwavelength Atlas of Galaxies is a textbook and atlas of 35 well studied galaxies (including our Galaxy) authored by Glen Mackie of the Centre for Astrophysics & Supercomputing, Swinburne University of Technology. It was originally published in 2011 by Cambridge University Press.〔Mackie, Glen. (''The Multiwavelength Atlas of Galaxies'' ), ''Cambridge University Press'', Cambridge, UK. Retrieved on 27 February 2013〕
==Atlas scope==
The purpose of the atlas is to display and describe some of the best multiwavelength images of galaxies. The images originate from a variety of telescopes, instruments and detectors, and therefore possess wide ranges of signal-to-noise, angular resolution, sampling or pixel sizes and fields of view. The atlas is a compendium of galaxy images spanning the Gamma ray, X-ray, Ultraviolet, Optical, Infrared, Submillimeter and Radio regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The atlas has been favourably reviewed in the Royal Astronomical Society journal, Astronomy & Geophysics.〔Astronomy & Geophysics (2011), 52(2): 2.37 (''A multiwavelength look at the universe'' ), Oxford University Press, Oxford, UK. Retrieved on 11 April 2013.〕 Creating the atlas was a long term project ten years in the making.〔(Daily Telegraph ) Retrieved on 21 April 2013〕 Background on the genesis of the atlas can be found in an interview with the author in the Swinburne University of Technology Venture magazine.〔Cribb, J. Venture, March, 2011 (''A bestiary of galaxies'' ), Swinburne University of Technology. Retrieved on 11 April 2013.〕 It is recommended for graduate students and above.〔Villanova University, Falvey Memorial Library (''Reviews: Multiwavelength atlas of galaxies'' ), Villanova University, USA.

Explanatory text describes how different radiation is produced, which objects (i.e. cold, warm or hot gas, dust, stars, particles, atoms and molecules) it originates from, and what types of telescopes are used to detect it. The galaxies are divided into categories of Normal (N), Interacting (I), Merging (M), Starburst (S) and Active (A), though many have been classified across one or more categories. The reasons for inclusion of a galaxy into a specific category is explained in the individual galaxy summaries in the Atlas.
