We report far-infrared and submillimeter observations of supernova 1987A, the star whose explosion was observed on 23 February 1987 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy located 160,000 light years away. ... The intensity and spectral energy distribution of the emission suggest a dust mass of about 0.4 to 0.7 times the mass of the Sun. ... Our observations imply that supernovae can produce the large dust masses detected in young galaxies at very high redshifts. ... ADS Citation Query . ...

Detected Supernovae . The search have produced till now the detections of 4 SNe. ... This result highlights the power of infrared monitoring in detecting Obscured SNe and indicates that optical surveys are probably missing a significant fraction of SNe, especially in obscured systems such as starburst galaxies. ... In Fig. we show the archival SOFI image of NGC3256 (left) and the first image obtained in 2001 (right) where SN2001db has been detected. ...

Next: The Evolutionary Status of Up: No Title Previous: Massive X-ray Binaries . After 25 years of pulsar studies, a radiopulsar has been discovered in a binary system with a massive optical companion (Johnston et al. ... As shown in the very first calculations of joint evolution of NS and normal stars in binaries (Kornilov and Lipunov, 1983b[ 86 ]) a considerable fraction (maybe, the majority) of NS in binary systems having an optical companion must be at the ejector љ (E) state. ... Systems . ...

Next: Observations and reduction Up: The discovery of SN1998bv Previous: The discovery of SN1998bv . ... Since the life cycle of massive stars is very short (<30Myr), one can expect to observe more or less frequent SNe in galaxies where current intensive star formation takes place. ... 1998). ... The supernova SN 1998bv was discovered on April 6, 1998 in the galaxy HS 1035+4758 selected as an ELG candidate in the HSS. ... Figure 1: DSS image of the galaxy HS 1035+4758. ...

Basic information on this SN, including the last reported brightness, on this Supernova can be found on the main page . Information on the original web pages for many of these images can be found on the updates and links web pages. Discovered independently by Lick Observatory Supernova Search (USA) and Koichi Itagaki (Japan). ... 2009/10/11.44 . 17.2 . ... Joseph Brimacombe . ...

... Our recent observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (August 29, 2014) led to revealing a highly isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxy KKs 3 situated at a distance of 2.12 0.07 Mpc from the Milky Way. The dSph galaxy locates on the southern sky (RA=02 h 24 m 44.4 s , Dec.= ... Over the last decade, about 30 dSph galaxies have been discovered inside the Local Group through systematic search in the vicinity of M31 and more that a dozen dSphs were discovered in the nearby group around M81. ...

Right: observed distribution of the average stellar metallicities of passive and star forming galaxies in the local universe, supporting starvation/strangulation as primary quenching mechanism in low/intermediate mass galaxies ( Peng, Maiolino, Cochrane 2015 ). ...

The completion of the 12-mm and 3-mm receiver systems on the Compact Array has secured two new astronomical windows into the southern skies. ... These include investigating the molecular gas reservoirs in and around galaxies in the very distant (high redshift) universe. ... Northern hemisphere millimetre interferometers have already observed molecular gas and dust in a handful of high-redshift radio galaxies, confirming that these objects are still forming the bulk of their stars. ...

List of Amateurs Discoverers of SNe. The following list shows amateurs who have discovered or co-discovered a supernova . ... For each discoverer we indicate the number of supernovae found, the number of co-discoveries (i.e., shared with other observers), the method used (V=visual, P=photographic and C=ccd), the first and last years of his discoveries and country of origin. ...

... Credit: Greg Bacon ( STScI ), NASA Explanation: The last decade saw the profound discovery of many worlds beyond our solar system, but none analogs of our home planet Earth . Exploiting precise observational techniques, astronomers inferred the presence of well over two dozen extrasolar planets , most nearly as massive as gas giant Jupiter or more, in close orbits around sun-like stars. ...
