    An ‘Old Faithful’ Active Galaxy: Black Hole Rips Away at Star

    January 13, 2021, Categories  Astronomy/Space

    This image of active galaxy ESO 253-3 was captured by the European Space Observatory’s Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer as part of the All-weather MUse Supernova Integral-field of Nearby Galaxies (AMUSING) survey. ESO 253-3 displays the most predictable and frequent flares scientists have yet identified in an active galaxy.

    During a typical year, over a million people visit Yellowstone National Park, where the Old Faithful geyser regularly blasts a jet of boiling water high in the air. Now, an international team of astronomers has discovered a cosmic equivalent, a distant galaxy that erupts roughly every 114 days.

    Using data from facilities including NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and Transiting Exopla...

    Newly discovered Supernova Complicates Origin Story Theories

    December 1, 2018, Categories  Astronomy/Space

    Six images showing the host galaxy of the newly discovered supernova ASASSN-18bt. The top row shows three images from before the explosion taken by Pan-STARRS, ASAS-SN, and Kepler. The bottom row shows images from ASAS-SN and Kepler after the supernova was visible. The discovery image from the ASAS-SN team is in the bottom middle. To its left is a version with all the surrounding stars eliminated, showing only the new supernova's light output. On the bottom right is a Kepler image from after the supernova was detected. Kepler's precision was crucial to understanding the light from ASASSN_18bt in the early hours after the explosion.
