Phys.org / Observations inspect double-lined spectroscopic binary HD 34736
Using various telescopes, an international team of astronomers has conducted a comprehensive study of a double-lined spectroscopic binary known as HD 34736. The study, published November 6 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal ...
Phys.org / New giant radio galaxy discovered with MeerKAT
An international team of astronomers has employed the MeerKAT radio telescope to investigate giant radio galaxies in the field of the Cosmological Evolution Survey (COSMOS). They found a new giant radio galaxy that had not ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover a unique quasi-stellar object–dusty star-forming galaxy system
Astronomers from the Steward Observatory in Arizona and elsewhere report the discovery of a structure consisting of a quasi-stellar object (QSO) and a dusty star-forming galaxy (DSFG), linked by a bridge of ionized carbon. ...
Phys.org / Astronomers inspect the nature of an X-ray binary with a red supergiant
An international team of astronomers has conducted a multiwavelength study of an X-ray binary designated 1eRASS J085039.9-421151. Results of the study, published Nov. 4 on the preprint server arXiv, yield new information ...
Phys.org / Observations explore icy protoplanetary disk of the star PDS 453
Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), an international team of astronomers has inspected an icy protoplanetary disk of a young star known as PDS 453. Results of the new study, published on the preprint server arXiv, yield ...
Phys.org / Astronomers investigate long-term variability of blazar AO 0235+164
Astronomers have performed a comprehensive multiwavelength study of an extremely variable blazar known as AO 0235+164. Results of the new study, published Nov. 3 on the preprint server arXiv, shed more light on the long-term ...
Phys.org / Quasi-periodic eruptions from eRO-QPE2 are remarkably stable, study finds
An international team of astronomers has inspected long-term evolution of quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) from a QPE source designated eRO-QPE2. The study found that QPEs from this source are remarkably stable over the investigated ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover a new repeating fast radio burst
Using the CHIME telescope, an international team of astronomers has detected a new repeating fast radio burst (FRBs) source in the outskirts of a quiescent galaxy. The finding of a new FRB, which experienced 22 repeating ...
Phys.org / Astronomers use JWST and ALMA to explore the structure of a giant spiral galaxy
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers have observed a giant spiral galaxy designated ADF22.A1. Results of the observational ...
Phys.org / Globular cluster Gran 5 hosts two stellar populations, study finds
Using the Gemini-South telescope, astronomers have performed high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy of stars in a Galactic globular cluster known as Gran 5. They found that this cluster harbors two stellar populations ...
Phys.org / Observations detect hundreds of possible supergiant stars in two nearby galaxies
Using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), Chinese astronomers have identified nearly 300 candidate supergiant stars in the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies. The finding was reported in ...
Phys.org / Astronomers investigate the properties of open cluster NGC 2506
Astronomers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) have inspected a Galactic open cluster known as NGC 2506 as part of the WIYN Open Cluster Study. Results of the study, ...
Phys.org / New extended and faint tidal tail discovered
By analyzing the data from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS), astronomers have discovered a new tidal tail likely associated with the galaxy NGC 3785. The newly detected tidal tail is extremely extended and faint. ...
Phys.org / Observations explore the properties of giant spiral galaxy UGC 2885
