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. ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using the DAocheng Radio Telescope (DART), Chinese astronomers have detected a long-period transient event. The newfound transient, which received designation DART J1832-0911, has a period of approximately 44 minutes and ...

An international team of astronomers has investigated a planetary system consisting of three alien worlds orbiting the star TOI-396. The study, published Nov. 22 on the pre-print server arXiv, provides the first mass measurements ...

Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite and NASA's Chandra spacecraft, German astronomers have observed a supersoft X-ray source designated RX J0513.9−6951. Results of the observations, published on the arXiv preprint server, shed ...

An international team of astronomers has employed the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe a supermassive Galactic open cluster known as Westerlund 1. Results of the observational campaign, presented in a paper published ...

Astronomers from China and South Korea report the detection of a contact binary system with an extremely low mass ratio of only 0.0356. The newfound system, which received the designation TYC 3801-1529-1, is therefore the ...

Astronomers from the Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea and elsewhere have discovered a rare isolated group of five star-forming dwarf galaxies in the local universe. The finding was reported in a research paper published ...

An international team of astronomers has reported the detection of a new super-Jupiter exoplanet as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The newfound alien world, located some 1,430 light years away, is nearly ...
