Recently, several supernovae have been observed that do not fit in any of the known categories. These Calcium-rich supernovae are challenging to explain, but in this astrobite you read that they are likely the result of an expelled merger.
So you went observing, and you got a time series of images for precise photometry and you want to plot a light curve. Now what? Where do you start? Right here, with AstroImageJ.
If you hold an engineering diploma and dream of exploring the universe, this Astrobite is for you: practical advice on how to take the leap into astronomy and astrophysics.
Unlike most astrophysicists today, this one did go observing for a change. And what he finds there is out of this world. Literally.
Preliminary results from a new survey looking for ultra-bright galaxies in the early universe.
The third Extreme Solar System conference was held between Nov 29 to Dec 4th, in Kona, Hawaii, on the 20th anniversary of the first exoplanet detection around a main sequence star. This astrobite gives a brief overview of the conference.
