Astronomers inspect a peculiar pulsating variable white dwarf
Astronomers have conducted spectroscopic and photometric observations of a peculiar pulsating variable white dwarf known as TMTS J17184064+2524314. Results of the observational campaign, published January 26 on the preprint server arXiv, provide esse.....»»
Astronomers discover a bright pulse that may be a fast radio burst
Searching for pulsars using the Large Phased Array (LPA) radio telescope, Russian astronomers have detected a bright pulse at a frequency of 111 MHz, which appears to be a fast radio burst event. The finding was reported in a research paper published.....»»
Crucial role of peer support for African American doctoral students at predominantly white institutions
A new study conducted by researchers at George Washington University sheds light on the critical role that same-race peer groups play in the success of African American doctoral students at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). The research unders.....»»
Hyundai recalls 1,568 hydrogen vehicles in the U.S. for gas leak
A faulty part in the 2019–24 Hyundai Nexo causes vehicles to make a "wind-rushing noise" and a white fog to appear at its rear......»»
Observations explore the nature of stellar stream Icarus
Astronomers from Italy and Chile have investigated an accreted stellar stream named Icarus in the Milky Way's disk. Results of the study, detailed in a research paper published October 16 on the preprint server arXiv, yield crucial information regard.....»»
Pilot expeditions work to preserve the white shark in the Mediterranean Sea
The Mediterranean Sea is a paradise. Pristine waters and an incredible coastline spanning multiple continents are renowned the world over. Below those picturesque, and sometimes crowded, waters swims a legendary creature facing a treacherous and unce.....»»
Astronomers explore the properties of an obscured hyperluminous quasar
Astronomers from the European University Cyprus and the University of Hawaii have investigated a recently discovered obscured hyperluminous quasar known as COS-87259. Results of the study, published October 14 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astr.....»»
Saturday Citations: Brown dwarf actually brown dwarfs; the adaptability of ice-age humans; archaeologists excited
This week, researchers discovered a near-Earth microquasar that sheds new light on sources of relativistic outflows. Doctors reported finding a triphallic gentleman. And neuroscientists reported on modest cognitive boosts from short (or "acute," in c.....»»

Protein signaling pathway provides insights into cell migration and cancer metastasis
The innate immune response is the body's first line of defense against infection, and a successful immune defense takes a village: a combination of physical barriers, chemical attacks, and an army of specialized white blood cells. But maintaining and.....»»
Rare ultra-luminous nova spotted in the Small Magellanic Cloud
A rare, extremely luminous X-ray outburst has been observed in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that is a close neighbor of our own Milky Way galaxy. The observations, made by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and other telescopes, were de.....»»
Astronomers detect ancient lonely quasars with murky origins
A quasar is the extremely bright core of a galaxy that hosts an active supermassive black hole at its center. As the black hole draws in surrounding gas and dust, it blasts out an enormous amount of energy, making quasars some of the brightest object.....»»
Second exoplanet detected orbiting an early G-type star
Astronomers report the detection of a second exoplanet orbiting a G-type star known as TIC 393818343, located some 300 light years away. The newfound alien world is about three times less massive than Jupiter. The finding was detailed in a research p.....»»

Astronomer detects eclipses in a candidate cataclysmic variable system
Russian astronomer Valerij Kozhevnikov has performed photometric observations of a candidate cataclysmic variable known as LAMOST J035913.61+405035.0. He detected 14 eclipses of this system. The finding was reported in a paper published October 9 on.....»»
Dutch students warn space mission of noisy white dwarfs
The background noise of gravitational waves from orbiting white dwarf stars will be stronger than the noise from binary black holes. This is what two Dutch master's students and their supervisor predict in two papers in anticipation of the LISA space.....»»
Astronomers detect very-high-energy gamma-ray emission surrounding distant pulsar
Using the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), an international team of astronomers have detected very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-rays around the pulsar PSR J0248+6021, which may be the pulsar's halo or a pulsar wind nebula. The finding.....»»
