Fifteen new variable stars detected in the galaxy NGC 247
Using the Gemini Observatory, astronomers have detected 15 new periodic and non-periodic variables in a nearby galaxy known as NGC 247. The finding, reported in a paper published July 29 on the arXiv pre-print repository, ...
New lithium-rich Cepheid discovered in the Milky Way
Italian astronomers have reported the discovery of a new lithium-rich galactic Cepheid star, identified by high-resolution spectroscopic observations. The newfound object, designated V363 Cas, is the fifth lithium-rich classical ...
V473 Lyr has a low-mass companion, study suggests
Using ESA's XMM-Newton spacecraft, astronomers have conducted X-ray observations of a peculiar Cepheid variable star known as V473 Lyr. Results of the study suggest that this star has a young, low-mass companion. The finding ...
Multiple stellar populations found in the cluster NGC 1866
Astronomers have performed a comprehensive study of stellar populations in the young globular cluster NGC 1866. The new study confirms that the cluster hosts multiple stellar populations, which could have implications for ...
Three new Beta Cephei stars detected
Using NASA's prolonged Kepler mission, known as K2, astronomers have identified three new Beta Cephei stars. The newly found trio is an important addition to the still short list of known stars of this type. The finding is ...
A 3-D model of the Milky Way Galaxy using data from Cepheids
A team of researchers at the University of Warsaw has created the most accurate 3-D model of the Milky Way Galaxy to date. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group explains how they used measurements from ...
