New radio observations provide the best view yet of the WISPIT 2 planetary system, revealing spiral wakes driven by a growing ...
Astrobites reports on the discovery of a new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy in preview data taken before the start of Vera C. Rubin ...
Last year, gravitational wave detectors triggered on what may have been a collision involving a sub-solar-mass neutron star.
A new catalog of giant pulses from the Crab Nebula pulsar reveals a feature predicted to exist but not seen until now.
New simulations suggest the outer solar system could disassemble within about one billion years after the Sun becomes a white dwarf.
While it’s common to find millisecond pulsars in binary systems — in fact, many millisecond pulsars are thought to spin up to their incredible speeds via accretion from a stellar companion — it’s rare ...

Need a place to publish works in progress, comments and clarifications, null results, or timely reports of observations in astronomy and astrophysics? RNAAS is open for submissions. The American ...
Luckily, one transit astronomer’s trash data can be a pulsation timer’s treasure. For some A-type stars called δ Scuti stars, the pulsation is regular enough to be used like a cosmic clock. Subtle ...
The authors find that the mass of the galaxy is 0.21 x 10 12 solar masses, the circular velocity of the galaxy at the maximum radius they look at (21.1 kpc) is 206 km/s, and the virial radius is 1.28 ...
Betelgeuse is a variable star. On top of its well-constrained 400-day pulsation period, the star has exhibited two behaviors that have drawn interest in recent years: a deep, prolonged dimming episode ...
