An international team of astronomers reports the detection of a new, hot-dust-obscured galaxy (DOG). The galaxy, which received designation WISE J190445.04+485308.9, was found at a relatively low redshift of 0.415, which ...
By analyzing the data from ESA's XMM-Newton and Gaia satellites, astronomers have investigated a young star cluster known as NGC 2264. Results of the study, published November 16 on the arXiv pre-print repository, shed more ...
Using various telescopes, an international team of astronomers has investigated IC 1396—a nearby region of ionized atomic hydrogen. Results of the study, published October 21 on arXiv.org, yield important insights regarding ...
Using the Caucasus Mountain Observatory, Russian astronomers have investigated a nearby lenticular galaxy known as NGC 4324. They detected young star-forming complexes in the inner ring of this galaxy. The findings, presented ...
