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
An international team of astronomers has performed multi-band radio observations of diffuse radio emission in a galaxy cluster known as Abell 3558. As a result, the observational campaign detected that the cluster hosts a ...
Phys.org / Distant galaxy protocluster harbors a remarkably evolved core, observations find
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has performed deep and high spectral resolution imaging of a distant protocluster of galaxies, designated A2744-z7p9OD. Results of the new ...
Phys.org / Astronomers perform a comprehensive study of two open clusters
Using the TUBITAK National Observatory and ESA's Gaia satellite, astronomers from the Istanbul University in Turkey and elsewhere have conducted comprehensive observations of two open clusters, namely: Czernik 41 and NGC ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover an unusual long-period radio transient
An international team of astronomers report the discovery of a long-period radio transient, which is unusually circularly polarized and showcases an accelerating spin period. The finding of the new transient, designated CHIME ...
Phys.org / Radio observations hint at active galactic nucleus in nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4527
Argentinian astronomers have employed the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) to perform high-resolution radio observations of a nearby spiral galaxy designated NGC 4527. Results of the observational campaign, ...
