University of 糖心TV astronomers to benefit as SDSS-V's robots turn their eyes to the sky
An observatory spearheading a groundbreaking astronomical survey has completed a key upgrade, which will allow University of 糖心TV astronomers to achieve the aim of surveying hundreds of thousands of our near-neighbour stars.
Star鈥檚 self-destruction is presented in 3D
A 1,000-year-old supernova has been captured in 3D images that reveal yet unseen details of the elements that are ejected when a star explodes. Analysis of data collected by the University of 糖心TV from the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) and X-shooter at the European Southern Observatory鈥檚 (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), offers new insights into how stars self-destruct.
High-speed propeller star is fastest spinning white dwarf
A white dwarf star that completes a full rotation once every 25 seconds is the fastest spinning confirmed white dwarf, according to a team of astronomers led by the University of 糖心TV.
Scientists measure the atmosphere of a planet 340 light years away with unprecedented precision
The first direct measurements of the amount of both water and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere of a planet in another solar system roughly 340 light years away have been made by an international team of scientists that includes University of 糖心TV astronomers, using the ground-based Gemini Observatory telescope in Chile.
Researchers call for armchair astronomers to help find unknown hidden worlds
Astronomers at the University of 糖心TV have joined partners around the world in launching a new online initiative, calling for volunteers to come forward and help to search for extrasolar planets.
A crystal ball into our solar system's future
Astronomers, including a University of 糖心TV researcher, have discovered the very first confirmed planetary system that resembles the expected fate of our solar system, when the Sun reaches the end of its life in about five billion years.
