Phys.org / New tidally tilted pulsator discovered by astronomers
Astronomers have detected a new tidally pulsator star (TTP) by analyzing the data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The newfound pulsator, designated TIC 435850195, belongs to the rare class of tri-axial ...
Phys.org / New IW And-type star discovered by astronomers
A team of Chinese astronomers has performed photometric observations of a dwarf nova known as Karachurin 12. As a result, they have found that Karachurin 12 is an IW And-type star. The discovery was detailed in a research ...
Phys.org / Spectrophotometric study explores an early-type dwarf galaxy
Using the Gemini Observatory, Argentinian astronomers have conducted comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of an early-type dwarf galaxy known as CGCG014-074. Results of the observational campaign, published ...
Phys.org / New dense sub-Saturn exoplanet discovered
Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers from the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad, India and elsewhere, have detected a new sub-Saturn exoplanet with a relatively high density. The ...
Phys.org / New observations shed more light on the nature of a millisecond pulsar binary
Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, European astronomers have performed X-ray observations of a millisecond pulsar binary known as PSR J1431−4715. Results of the observational campaign, published September 3 on the pre-print ...
