Phys.org / Observers investigate a nearby galaxy cluster merger
Using the Very Large Array (VLA), an international team of astronomers have observed a nearby galaxy merger known as CIZA J0107.7+5408. Results of the observational campaign, presented December 20 on the preprint server arXiv, ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover an ultra-massive grand-design spiral galaxy
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has detected a new grand-design spiral galaxy as part of the PANORAMIC survey. The newfound galaxy, named Zhúlóng, is extremely massive and ...
Phys.org / Study sheds more light on the nature of compact symmetric object DA 362
Indian astronomers have performed a multiwavelength study of a gamma-ray emitting compact symmetric object known as DA 362. Results of the study, presented in a research paper published December 17 on the pre-print server ...
Phys.org / Observations detect young and energetic pulsar in a supernova remnant
An international team of astronomers has reported the discovery of a new pulsar, which received the designation PSR J1631–4722. The newfound pulsar, which is young and energetic, turns out to be associated with a supernova ...
Phys.org / Two Earth-sized exoplanets orbiting nearby star detected
An international team of astronomers has reported the discovery of two exoplanets orbiting a nearby star known as HD 101581. The newfound alien worlds are slightly smaller than Earth and orbit its host very closely. The discovery ...
Phys.org / Astronomers detect new 1.9-second pulsar using FAST
Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) in China, astronomers have discovered a new pulsar with a spin period of about two seconds. The newly detected pulsar, designated PSR J1922+37, was found ...
Phys.org / Astronomers detect a FUor-type young stellar object
An international team of astronomers has analyzed multi-color photometric and spectroscopic observations of the star Gaia20bdk. As a result, they found that Gaia20bdk is a FUor-type young stellar object. The finding is presented ...
Phys.org / ALMA observations investigate disk and jet of a massive protostar
Astronomers from Italy and Spain have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to observe a massive protostar designated IRAS 20126+4104. The observational campaign, detailed in a paper published Dec. ...
Phys.org / JWST uncovers massive grand-design spiral galaxy in early universe
Indian astronomers report the detection of a new grand-design galaxy with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The newfound galaxy, which received designation A2744-GDSp-z4, is relatively large and massive. The finding ...
Phys.org / ALMA observations explore the nuclear structure of a dusty star-forming galaxy
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have observed a dusty star-forming galaxy known as SPT 0538−50. Results of the observational campaign, presented Dec. 4 on the arXiv pre-print server, ...
Phys.org / Warm Saturn-sized exoplanet discovered with TESS
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected a new exoplanet orbiting a distant star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-4994 b, is warm and slightly smaller ...
Phys.org / Astronomers explore globular cluster system of ultra-diffuse galaxy VCC 615
Astronomers have employed the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to observe an ultra-diffuse galaxy known as VCC 615. Results of the observational campaign, presented in a paper posted Dec. 2 to the preprint server arXiv, yield ...
Phys.org / Dense molecular gas and dusty torus detected in the Swelling Spiral galaxy
Using the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) in Mexico, astronomers have performed spectroscopic observations of the Swelling Spiral galaxy. The observational campaign found that the galaxy harbors dense molecular gas in its ...
Phys.org / New odd radio circle discovered with MeerKAT telescope
Using the MeerKAT telescope, astronomers have discovered a new odd radio circle that appears to be associated with an elliptical galaxy known as WISEA J021912.43–050501.8. The finding, which could help us better understand ...
Phys.org / Large radio jet discovered in quasar J1601+3102
An international team of astronomers has observed an extremely radio-loud quasar known as J1601+3102. As a result, they found that the quasar hosts a large extended radio jet. The discovery is reported in a research paper ...
