Phys.org / Astronomers discover a new 'warm Jupiter'
Astronomers from the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) and elsewhere, report the discovery of a new 'warm Jupiter' exoplanet orbiting a rapidly rotating F-type star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-4641 ...
Phys.org / Research investigates evolution of symbiotic binary HM Sagittae
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), astronomers have performed a multiwavelength study of a symbiotic binary known as HM Sagittae. Results of the study, ...
Phys.org / TCP J1822 is a symbiotic star, observations find
Using the Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT), Indian astronomers have conducted spectroscopic observations of a star discovered in 2021, known as TCP J1822. Results of the observational campaign indicate that TCP J1822 is ...
Phys.org / Four eruptive young stellar objects discovered
By analyzing the data from the SPICY catalog and from NASA's WISE spacecraft, an international team of astronomers has discovered four new eruptive young stellar objects (YSOs). The finding was presented in a research paper ...
Phys.org / Astronomers investigate the Southern Beehive cluster
An international team of astronomers has performed the first asteroseismic study of the young open cluster NGC 2516, better known as the Southern Beehive. Results of the study, published Nov. 28 on the pre-print server arXiv, ...
Phys.org / New warm Jupiter exoplanet discovered
An international team of astronomers has discovered a new warm Jupiter exoplanet orbiting a distant G-type star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-4515 b, is similar in size to Jupiter but about two times more massive ...
Phys.org / New young and highly scattered pulsar discovered with ASKAP
Using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), astronomers have discovered a new pulsar, which has received the designation PSR J1032−5804. The newfound pulsar turned out to be relatively young and highly ...
Phys.org / Astronomers inspect supernova remnants with MeerKAT
Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, astronomers from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Charlottesville, Virginia, and elsewhere have investigated a batch of 36 high latitude supernova remnants. Results of ...
Phys.org / Research investigates a high-frequency bump in the X-ray binary GX 339-4
An international team of astronomers has inspected a low-mass X-ray binary system known as GX 339-4. Results of the study, reported in a paper published Nov. 21 on the pre-print server arXiv, shed more light on the high-frequency ...
Phys.org / New protocluster of massive quiescent galaxies discovered
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new protocluster of massive quiescent galaxies at a redshift of approximately 4.0. This is the first detection of a protocluster of this type at such a high ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover the Milky Way's faintest satellite
By analyzing the images from the Ultraviolet Near Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new compact satellite of the Milky Way, which received designation Ursa Major ...
Phys.org / KiDS in the sky: New stellar system discovered by the Kilo-Degree Survey
Astronomers have discovered a new stellar system in the outskirts of the Milky Way as part of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS). The newfound system, named Sextans II, is most likely an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy. The finding is ...
Phys.org / FIRST discovery of dozens of new giant radio galaxies
Astronomers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and elsewhere report the discovery of 63 new giant radio galaxies as part of the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty cm survey (FIRST). The findings are detailed in ...
Phys.org / New Indian telescope identifies its first supernova
A newly built International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) in India has identified its first supernova—designated SN 2023af. The finding, reported November 8 on the pre-print server arXiv, proves that ILMT may be capable ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover two 'hot Jupiters' orbiting red-giant stars
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered two new "hot Jupiter" exoplanets. The newfound alien worlds, designated TOI-4377 b and TOI-4551 b, both orbit ...
