... A Gamma Ray Burst Supernova Connection . ... Credit: Al Kelly ( JSCAS / NASA ) Arne Henden ( Flagstaff / USNO ) Explanation: New evidence has emerged that a mysterious type of explosion known as a gamma ray burst is indeed connected to a supernova of the type visible in the above image . ... Type II Supernovas might not appear coincident with gamma-ray bursts , however, when the gamma-ray beam goes in another direction. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...

Discover the cosmos! ... 2002 May 17 . Gamma-Ray Burst, Supernova Bump . ... Explanation: On the 21st of November 2001, satellites detected yet another burst of gamma-rays from the cosmos. ... Seen above in a series of Hubble Space Telescope images recorded from December 4, 2001 to May 5, 2002 (13 through 161 days after the burst), the fading transient lies to the right of a fuzzy, distant galaxy, likely home to the gamma-ray burster. ...

The Sun defined daytime and the stars provided a fixed background of twinkling lights at night. ... The Greeks included the Sun and Moon as planets, along with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, because motion against the stars was their defining characteristic of "planet." Both the stars and planets were thought to revolve around Earth. ...

Astronomers using the worldБЂ™s largest radio telescope, at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, have discovered flaring radio emission from an ultra-cool star, not much warmer than the planet Jupiter, shattering the previous record for the lowest stellar temperature at which radio waves were detected. ...

... Astrophysics Group . ... AMI Science . ... Observations of galaxy clusters are central to the AMI science programme. The AMI Small Array is used to observe already-known clusters with high-sensitivity and resolution, allowing us to extract detailed information about individual clusters and to build up statistics about the cluster population. ... Observing galaxy clusters at 15 GHz is tricky because of the contamination from foreground radio sources, which is where the Large Array comes in! ...

... Planets . ... Stars . Exoplanets . ... Most exoplanets so far discovered fall into the category of тАШhot JupitersтАЩ, these are giant planets orbiting very close to their parent star. ... Note that we have discovered so many hot Jupiters because they are the easiest type of planet to find, they are not necessarily particularly common in the galaxy. ... Subsequently several similar hot and€а fuzzy worlds have been discovered the same way, proving this that this planet is not a one-off oddball. ...
