FERMI satellite hunts for extremely long wavelength gravitational wave signals
Coalescing supermassive black holes in the centers of merging galaxies fill the universe with low-frequency gravitational waves. Astronomers have been searching for these waves by using large radio telescopes to look for the subtle effect these space.....»»
Astronomers detect galactic space laser
A powerful radio-wave laser, called a "megamaser", has been observed by the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa. The record-breaking find is the most distant megamaser of its kind ever detected, at about five billion light years from Earth......»»
India Reports First Case of Highly Transmissible XE Variant
Mumbai's city administration reported India's first case of the highly-transmissible coronavirus variant, XE, on Wednesday. From a report: The hybrid of two omicron strains BA.1 and BA.2 was detected in a 50-year-old woman who had traveled to the cit.....»»
Researchers find more than 50 new pulsating stars in eclipsing binaries
Researchers from Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported their new findings on the study of pulsating Algol type (EA) eclipsing binaries. A total of 57 new pulsating stars were detected from 1,626 EA-type eclipsing binary sys.....»»
Thirteen new pulsars discovered with MeerKAT
Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers has detected 13 new pulsars in the globular cluster NGC 1851. Twelve of them turned out to be millisecond pulsars (MSPs). The discovery was reported March 23 on the arXiv pre-pri.....»»
Quasi-periodic oscillations detected in pulsar LMC X-4
Using ESA's XMM-Newton telescope, Indian astronomers have performed X-ray observations of a binary X-ray pulsar known as LMC X-4. The observational campaign resulted in the detection of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in this source. The finding i.....»»

New Jupiter-sized exoplanet discovered with TESS
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers from the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) and elsewhere have detected a new Jupiter-sized extrasolar world. The newfound exoplanet, designated TOI-3757 b, is slightly larger th.....»»
Unraveling tautomeric mixtures
A team at HZB has developed a method of experimentally unraveling tautomeric mixtures. Based on resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at BESSY II, not only proportions of the tautomers can be deduced, but the properties of each individual tautom.....»»
Asteroid Spotted Just Two Hours Before Impacting Earth
Two hours. That's about how much time elapsed between the discovery of asteroid 2022 EB5 and when it reached Earth's atmosphere. The asteroid is only the fifth one to have been detected before impact. CNET reports: Astronomer Krisztian Sarneczky firs.....»»
Among thousands of known exoplanets, astronomers flag three that are actually stars
The first worlds beyond our solar system were discovered three decades ago. Since then, close to 5,000 exoplanets have been confirmed in our galaxy. Astronomers have detected another 5,000 planetary candidates—objects that might be planets but have.....»»
