By analyzing the data from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS), astronomers from the Christ University in Bangalore, India, have serendipitously discovered a new ring galaxy, which received designation DES J024008.08-551047.5 ...

Using NASA's Kepler and ESA's Gaia spacecraft, an international team of astronomers has conducted an astroseismic investigation of six giant stars in the open cluster NGC 6866. The study, presented August 24 on the pre-print ...

An international team of astronomers has investigated EX Lupi—a young T-Tauri star in the constellation of Lupus and an archetype of EXor stars. The study, presented in a paper published August 23 on the pre-print server ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new massive and dense exoplanet. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-332 b, is one of the densest Neptune-sized ...

An international team of astronomers has used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe the planetary nebula NGC 6720, better known as the Ring Nebula. The observational campaign, described in a paper on the pre-print ...

Using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), an international team of astronomers has serendipitously detected a new Galactic supernova remnant (SNR), which received designation SNR G288.8–6.3. The finding ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has performed deep spectroscopic observations of a galaxy known as COSMOS-1142. As a result, they detected massive and multiphase outflow of ...

Using the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR), astronomers from the University of Bologna, Italy and elsewhere, have conducted radio observations of the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 2142. In result, they detected a new component of ...

Astronomers from Taiwan have performed X-ray observations of the galaxy NGC 1559 using NASA's Chandra spacecraft. They detected eight new ultraluminous X-ray sources in this galaxy. The finding is reported in a paper published ...

By analyzing the images of the Sombrero Galaxy obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Elio Quiroga Rodriguez of the Mid Atlantic University in Spain, has identified a peculiar object, which turned out to be a galaxy ...

Using NASA's Chandra spacecraft, astronomers have performed detailed X-ray observations of a complex galaxy cluster known as Abell 119. Results of the observational campaign, published August 9 on the pre-print server arXiv, ...

Using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), Russian astronomers have investigated a cataclysmic variable (CV) system of the polar subtype known as SDSS J085414.02+390537.3 (or J0854 for short). They found that J0854 belongs ...

Astronomers from the University of Chicago and elsewhere report the detection of an outflowing helium from the atmosphere of a nearby mini-Neptune exoplanet known as TOI-2134 b. The finding was detailed in a research paper ...

Using the LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) and MeerKAT telescope, European astronomers have performed radio observations of a galaxy cluster known as Abell 1413. Results of the observational campaign, published August 1 in the ...

Astronomers report the discovery of a new massive brown dwarf using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). The newly detected object is about 80 times more massive than Jupiter and orbits a low-mass star. The finding was detailed ...
