Astronomers have performed an astro-photometric study of an open cluster known as Messier 37. One of the main results of this research is the finding that Messier 37 hosts a large and evolved planetary nebula. The study was ...
By observing the field of globular cluster Palomar 2 with the Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO), astronomers have discovered 32 new variable stars. The newfound variables are mostly RR Lyrae stars and cluster members. ...
Using data from ESA's Gaia satellite and the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), astronomers have investigated three open clusters near the Aquila Rift cloud. They found that two of them, designated ...
Using the Very Large Telescope (VLT), an international team of astronomers has conducted a spectroscopic study of a young open cluster NGC 3293. Results of the research, published July 26 on the arXiv pre-print repository, ...
Using the VLT Survey Telescope (VST), European astronomers have investigated a peculiar star cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), known as KMHK 1762. Results of the study were published July 19 on arXiv.org.
It's been nearly a century since astronomer Fritz Zwicky first calculated the mass of the Coma Cluster, a dense collection of almost 1,000 galaxies located in the nearby universe. But estimating the mass of something so huge ...
