A team of U.S. and German astrophysicists have made the first ever detection of X-rays coming from a comet. ... Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...

... 81Trushkin+ The results of the multi-frequency radio observations of fourteen supernova remnants (SNRs) made with the RATAN-600 radio telescope in 1985 are reported. Flux densities of these SNRs are measured at least at two wavelengths: 31.3 and 7.6 cm. The radio spectra of some SNRs are precised. ... The radio sources detected inside or near the SNRs with the flux densities measured in the most sensitive 7.6-cm radiometer. The spectra of some point sources are discussed. ...

... More on 51 Peg: . The discovery of a Jupiter--mass planet in orbit around the solar--type star 51Peg has been reported by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (Geneva Observatory) on October 6th at the 9th Cambridge workshop on "cool stars, stellar systems, and the sun" held at Florence (Italy). ... Recall that the measurements of radial velocity only yield v sin i which in turn gives us M sin i. For most values of i, sin i will be greater than 0.5 and this gives a mass estimate of 0.5 Jupiter masses. ...

... X-ray sources in galaxies: active nuclei, primodal black holes or microquasars . The last findings in observations of point-like X-ray sources in galaxies are reported. ... A new class of objects has been discovered - the Ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) sources, which could be as black holes of intermediate mass (100-1000 suns), being captured by galaxies and spiralling in because of dynamical friction, or microquasars (SS433-like stars), being orientated "face-on". ...

Stellar astrophysics has entered a new golden age, thanks to wonderfully precise measurements being returned by NASA s Kepler mission. Kepler is a 0.9-metre space telescope that has been monitoring the brightness of more than 100,000 stars with extraordinary accuracy for more than four years. ... The mission has been spectacularly successful, with thousands of candidates reported. ... Key results include detecting gravity modes in red giant stars and characterizing stars found to host exoplanets. ...
