Phys.org / Astronomers inspect evolution of a nearby Type Ia supernova
Using various ground-based telescopes, astronomers have performed photometric and spectroscopic observations of a nearby Type Ia supernova known as SN 2020nlb. Results of the observations campaign, presented January 16 on ...
Phys.org / Astronomers investigate the properties of a peculiar cataclysmic variable
Astronomers from Turkey and Russia have performed optical observations of a magnetic cataclysmic variable known as SRGA J213151.5+491400. Results of the observational campaign, presented Jan. 11 on the pre-print server arXiv, ...
Phys.org / Astronomers detect new faint tidal disruption event
An international team of astronomers reports the detection of a new tidal disruption event (TDE) as part of All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN). The newfound TDE, designated ASASSN-23bd, turns out to be the ...
Phys.org / TESS discovers nine new 'hot Jupiters'
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered nine new "hot Jupiter" exoplanets. One of the newly detected alien worlds is almost four times more massive than ...
Phys.org / New cataclysmic variable discovered that may contain a brown dwarf secondary
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new cataclysmic variable. The newfound system, designated SRGeJ041130.3+685350 (or SRGeJ0411 for short), has an orbital period of about 100 minutes and may contain ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover new Be/X-ray binary system
Astronomers from the Open University in Milton Keynes, UK and elsewhere report the detection of a new Be/X-ray binary. The newfound system, designated 4XMM J182531.5–144036, exhibits persistent X-ray emission. The finding ...
Phys.org / NGC 2403 XMM4 is a super-Eddington neutron star, study finds
By analyzing the data from various space telescopes, astronomers have performed a detailed study of an ultraluminous X-ray source known as NGC 2403 XMM4. Results of the study, published January 5 in the Monthly Notices of ...
Phys.org / New large stellar flare detected from EV Lacertae
Astronomers have performed multiwavelength observations of a nearby M-dwarf star known as EV Lacertae (or EV Lac for short). The observational campaign resulted in the detection of a new large stellar flare from this object. ...
Phys.org / Gliese 367 b is a dark and hot sub-Earth with no atmosphere, study finds
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have investigated a nearby sub-Earth exoplanet known as Gliese 367 b. The obtained results indicate that this alien world is dark, hot and lacks a detectable atmosphere. ...
Phys.org / Study explores the properties of a faint tidal disruption event
Using a spectral synthesis code designed to simulate conditions in interstellar matter, astronomers have explored a faint tidal disruption event (TDE) designated iPTF16fnl. Results of the study, published Dec. 29 on the pre-print ...
