Phys.org / Radio observations shed more light on the properties of Pandora's Cluster
Using the Very Large Array (VLA), astronomers have performed radio observations of a galaxy cluster Abell 2744, nicknamed Pandora's Cluster. As a result, they obtained the deepest high-resolution radio image of this cluster, ...
Phys.org / Astronomers detect five young stars in the Chamaeleon cloud complex
Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), astronomers have performed large-scale radio observations of a star-forming region known as the Chamaeleon cloud complex. The observational campaign, which detected five ...
Phys.org / Supernova remnant SNR J0450.4−7050 investigated in detail
An international team of astronomers has employed various satellites and ground-based telescopes to perform multiwavelength observations of a supernova remnant known as SNR J0450.4−7050. Results of the observational campaign, ...
Phys.org / ESO 280-SC06 is a tidally disrupted globular cluster that has lost almost all its mass, observations reveal
Using the Magellan Telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, astronomers have performed a chemical study of a globular cluster known as ESO 280-SC06. As a result, they found that ESO 280-SC06 is a tidally disrupted ...
Phys.org / Observations of binary system V455 Car suggest a possible third companion
Chinese astronomers have employed NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to observe an eclipsing binary of the Algol-type, designated V455 Car. Results of the observational campaign are published in the journal ...
Phys.org / Catching a jellyfish in the sky: New galaxy discovered with the James Webb Space Telescope
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers from Canada and Switzerland have discovered a new galaxy, which received designation COSMOS2020-635829. The newfound object appears to undergo a ram pressure stripping ...
Phys.org / The Cosmic Owl: Astronomers discover a peculiar galaxy merger
An international team of astronomers reports the detection of a peculiar merger of two similar ring galaxies that morphologically resemble an owl's face. The discovery of this galaxy merger, dubbed the "Cosmic Owl," is presented ...
Phys.org / Structural and kinematical properties of globular cluster NGC 5634 challenge its Sagittarius origins
By analyzing the data from the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey, Chinese astronomers have investigated a globular cluster known as NGC 5634. Results of the new study, published June 5 on the arXiv pre-print server, provide more ...
Phys.org / Four new X-ray supernova remnants detected in the galaxy NGC 7793
Using NASA's Chandra spacecraft and ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, astronomers have investigated the galaxy NGC 7793, searching for supernova remnants (SNRs). As a result, they discovered four new X-ray SNRs in this galaxy. ...
Phys.org / Multiple X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations detected in X-ray binary IGR J19294+1816
Using the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT), Chinese astronomers have observed an X-ray binary system designated IGR J19294+1816. As a result, they discovered multiple X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations in this source. ...
