Using the Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT) and ESA's Gaia satellite, Indian astronomers have conducted a comprehensive study of a young open cluster designated NGC 2345. Results of the study, presented March 7 on the preprint ...
Using the Canada France Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), Chinese astronomers have performed multi-band observations of a merging dwarf galaxy known as VCC 322. Results of the observational campaign, presented March 4 on the preprint ...
Using data from ESA's Gaia satellite, astronomers from Chile have inspected a young open cluster known as NGC 6383. Results of the new study, presented in a paper published March 1 on the pre-print server arXiv, yield important ...
Indian astronomers have conducted long-term X-ray observations of a nearby ultra-fast rotating active star known as AB Doradus A. Results of the observational campaign, published February 29 on the pre-print server arXiv, ...
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have investigated the stellar population of the globular cluster NGC 1835. They detected a remarkably extended horizontal branch in this system. The discovery, reported ...
When they are active, supermassive black holes play a crucial role in the way galaxies evolve. Until now, growth was thought to be triggered by the violent collision of two galaxies followed by their merger; however, new ...
