Phys.org / Astronomers identify dozens of stellar streams with Gaia
Using ESA's Gaia satellite, astronomers have detected 87 stellar streams associated with globular clusters (GCs) in our Milky Way galaxy. The discovery, which doubles the number of known GC stellar streams, was detailed in ...
Phys.org / TESS detects two new Jupiter-sized exoplanets orbiting dwarf stars
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and elsewhere, have discovered two new exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf stars. The newfound alien worlds are ...
Phys.org / Distant galaxy A1689-zD1 found to have unusually low dust-to-gas ratio
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers has carried out comprehensive multiwavelength observations of a distant massive ...
Phys.org / Webb sheds more light on composition of planetary debris around nearby white dwarf
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have performed infrared observations of a planetary debris disk around a nearby white dwarf known as GD 362. Results of the new observations, presented October 8 on ...
