Phys.org / JWST observations shed more light on the nature of a distant galaxy
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has observed a distant faint galaxy designated JADES-GS-z14-1. Results of the observational campaign, published July 30 on the arXiv preprint ...
Phys.org / Astronomers observe a giant outburst of X-ray binary RX J0440.9+4431
Astronomers from Wuhan University in China have employed the Insight-HXMT satellite to observe a giant outburst that occurred in the X-ray binary RX J0440.9+4431 about three years ago. Results of the observations, presented ...
Phys.org / Long-term study identifies more glitches in the gamma-ray pulsar PSR J0007+7303
Chinese astronomers have used NASA's Fermi gamma-ray space telescope to conduct a long-term study of a bright gamma-ray pulsar known as PSR J0007+7303. In their results, they identified more glitching events in this pulsar. ...
Phys.org / Supergiant star Wd1-9 investigated in detail
An international team of astronomers has employed NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory to perform the most detailed study of a supergiant star known as Wd1-9, which yielded important insights into the properties and nature of ...
Phys.org / New long-period radio transient discovered
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new long-period radio transient, which received the designation ASKAP J144834−685644 (ASKAP J1448−6856 for short). The newfound transient is a crucial addition ...
Phys.org / Hubble observations shed more light on the star formation history of a nearby ultra-diffuse galaxy
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have observed a nearby ultra-diffuse galaxy designated F8D1. The new observations, presented July 17 on the pre-print server arXiv, deliver important insights into the star ...
Phys.org / Study inspects over 100 quasars from the MIGHTEE survey
A team of astronomers from Rhodes University and elsewhere have investigated a sample of 104 quasars detected with the MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) survey. The new study, published ...
Phys.org / Observations reveal the properties of a nearby cold brown dwarf
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Gemini Observatory, European astronomers have observed a nearby cold brown dwarf known as WISE 1738. Results of the observational campaign, ...
Phys.org / Astronomers observe a rapid radio brightening of tidal disruption event AT2018hyz
Using various telescopes worldwide, an international team of astronomers has observed a tidal disruption event (TDE) known as AT2018hyz, which allowed them to witness a rapid brightening of this source in the radio band.
Phys.org / New Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting nearby star detected
Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected a new exoplanet orbiting a nearby star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-2431 b, is comparable in size to Earth ...
Phys.org / Galaxy cluster Abell 3558 has a peculiar mini-halo, observations suggest
