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. ...
Phys.org / Three hot Jupiter exoplanets discovered with TESS
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected three new hot Jupiter exoplanets orbiting three distant K dwarf stars. The finding was reported in a research paper ...
Phys.org / Peculiar microquasar SS 433 shows increasing orbital period and unique accretion disk behavior
Russian astronomers from the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (SAI) have analyzed long-term observational data of a peculiar microquasar designated SS 433. Results of the new study, published May 13 in the Physics-Uspekhi ...
Phys.org / Astronomers perform a long-term investigation of open cluster Berkeley 65
Astronomers from the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) in India and elsewhere have employed the Devasthal Fast Optical Telescope (DFOT) to conduct long-term photometric observations of an open ...
Phys.org / Relativistic jet detected in active galaxy Markarian 110
Astronomers have conducted very long baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of an active galaxy known as Markarian 110. As a result, they detected a relativistic jet in this galaxy. The finding was reported in a research ...
Phys.org / Astronomers observe the Sausage cluster at very low radio frequencies
Using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), European astronomers have investigated a galaxy cluster designated CIZA J2242.8+5301, dubbed the Sausage cluster. The observations conducted at very low radio frequencies provide more ...
Phys.org / Astronomers detect new ultracompact binary system with unusually bright, infrequent outbursts
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new ultracompact binary of the AM CVn type exhibiting infrequent outbursts. The detection of the newfound system, designated TCP J07222683+6220548, was detailed ...
Phys.org / Observations of recently detected SN 2024aecx suggest it's a Type IIb supernova
Astronomers from the Yunnan University in China and other institutions have carried out photometric and spectroscopic observations of a recently detected supernova designated SN 2024aecx. Results of the observational campaign, ...
Phys.org / Asteroseismology study uncovers new pulsation modes in ultra-massive white dwarf
Based on time-series photometry from three different telescopes, an international team of astronomers has performed a detailed asteroseismology study of WD J0049−2525—the most massive pulsating white dwarf. The study, published ...
Phys.org / Spectroscopic study inspects blue straggler stars in NGC 3201
Using the Magellan Clay Telescope, astronomers have performed a spectroscopic study of blue straggler stars in the globular cluster NGC 3201. Results of the new study, published May 21 on the arXiv preprint server, could ...
Phys.org / Dozens of new high-redshift quasars discovered by astronomers
An international team of astronomers has discovered 25 new quasars by analyzing multiwavelength data from various surveys. All the newfound quasars were detected at redshifts greater than 4.6. The findings are detailed in ...
Phys.org / Study reinvestigates the properties of globular cluster NGC 1754
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have observed a globular cluster known as NGC 1754 as part of a systematic study of the most massive and compact clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Results of ...
Phys.org / Water ice detected in a debris disk around young nearby star
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and elsewhere have detected water ice in a debris disk around HD 181327—a young star located within 160 light years away from the ...
Phys.org / GEMS out of this world: Astronomers find a new Saturn-like exoplanet around an M-dwarf star
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new giant exoplanet around an M-dwarf star (GEMS). The newfound GEMS, designated TOI-5573 b, is comparable in size to Saturn and its mass is estimated to be ...
