Using NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory, astronomers have performed deep X-ray observations of a nearby active galaxy known as NGC 5728 and its active galactic nucleus (AGN). Results of the observational campaign, published ...
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new gas giant exoplanet using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The newfound alien world, designated TOI-3235 b is the size of Jupiter and ...
An international team of researchers under the leadership of Dr. Florian Peißker at the University of Cologne's Institute of Astrophysics has discovered a very young star in its formation phase near the supermassive black ...

Using multiple telescopes, astronomers have detected two new magnetic cataclysmic variable systems of the polar subclass and determined their fundamental properties. The finding, which could help us better understand the ...
Astronomers report the detection of two new gas giant exoplanets using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The newfound alien worlds, designated TOI-3984A b and TOI-5293A b, have very short orbital periods. ...
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), Chinese astronomers have detected quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the light curve of HS 2325+8205—a long-period eclipsing dwarf nova. The discovery was detailed ...
Using three ground-based telescopes in Chile, astronomers have conducted a search for variable stars in the open cluster NGC 6611. In result, they detected 95 variables and the majority of them are most likely cluster members. ...
Using the 3.6m Devasthal Optical Telescope (DOT), Indian astronomers have performed detailed deep near-infrared observations of a Galactic open cluster known as Teutsch 76. Results of the observational campaign, published ...
Observations of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies point to a likely source of dark energy—the 'missing' 70% of the universe.
