The students were testing a method of investigating the light fluctuations of thousands of stars in the OGLE database in an automated way. The brightness of one of the stars was found to decrease for ...
Physics and Astronomy |They are a bigger version of the zodiacal dust in our Solar System. Its disc was the first to be imaged — as early as 1984 — and remains the best-studied system. Earlier observations showed a warp of ...
Physics and Astronomy |The inner asteroid belt is a virtual twin of the belt in our solar system, while the outer asteroid belt holds 20 times more material. Moreover, the presence of these three rings of material implies t...
Physics and Astronomy |Planets could be home to other forms of life, so the study of exoplanets ranks very high in contemporary astronomy. More than 300 planets are already known to orbit stars other than the Sun, and these...
Physics and Astronomy |An international team, led by astronomers at the MIT Haystack Observatory, has obtained the closest views ever of what is believed to be a super-massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galax...
Physics and Astronomy |"This technique gives us an unmatched view of the region near the Milky Way's central black hole," said Sheperd Doeleman of MIT, first author of the study that will be published in the ...
Physics and Astronomy |NASA's sun-focused STEREO spacecraft unexpectedly detected particles from the edge of the solar system last year, allowing University of California, Berkeley, scientists to map for the first time...
Physics and Astronomy |Using ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer, astronomers have probed the inner parts of the disc of material surrounding a young stellar object, witnessing how it gains its mass before becomi...
Physics and Astronomy |"We were getting ready for a routine engineering run when all of a sudden the nova went off. It was very bright and easy to observe, so we took this opportunity and turned it into gold," say...
Physics and Astronomy |The system, known as LH54-425, is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. The binary consists of two O-stars, the most massive and luminous types of stars in the Un...
Physics and Astronomy |On Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 April at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting in Preston, Professor Richard Harrison and Dr Chris Davis of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory will present spectacular imag...
Physics and Astronomy |Comet McNaught, the Great Comet of 2007, is no more visible for observers in the Northern Hemisphere. It does put an impressive show in the South however and observers in Chile, and in particular at t...
Physics and Astronomy |Distant Planet Brings Astronomers Closer To Home Using a network of telescopes scattered across the globe, including the Danish 1.54m telescope at ESO La Silla (Chile), ...
Physics and Astronomy |ESAs Integral space observatory, together with NASAs Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer spacecraft, has found a fast-spinning pulsar in the process of devouring its companion. ...
Physics and Astronomy |Astronomers report tremendous quantities of warm dusty debris surrounding a star with luminosity and mass similar to the suns, but located 300 light-years from Earth. The extraordina...
