Title: 2D kinematics of the edge-on spiral galaxy ESO 379-G006 Authors: M. Rosado, R.F. Gabbasov, P. Repetto, I. Fuentes-Carrera, P. Amram, M. Martos, O. Hernandez We present a kinematical study of the nearly edge-on galaxy ESO 379-G006 that shows the existence of extraplanar ionised gas. With F...
Title: Discovery of transient high-energy gamma-ray emission from the BL Lacertae object 5C 3.178 Authors: Hugh Dickinson, Christian Farnier We report the discovery of transient, point-like high energy gamma-ray emission coincident with the position of the suspected BL Lac object 5C 3.178. T...
A magnitude 13.3, type Ia supernova, 2009ig, was discovered on the 20th August, 2009 by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search in the spiral galaxy NGC 1015 in the constellation Cetus. The supernova is located 0.6" east and 22" north from the center of the galaxy. Position (2000): RA = 02...
Hubble Sees Cosmic "Flying V" of Merging Galaxies This large "flying V" is actually two distinct objects - a pair of interacting galaxies known as IC 2184. Both the galaxies are seen almost edge-on in the large, faint northern constellation of Camelopardalis (The Giraffe),...
The 300 - 670 metre wide asteroid 2008 DG17 will make a close pass (36.8 lunar distances, 0.0946 AU), travelling at 23.24 km/second, to the Earth-Moon system on the 16th February, 2013 @ 09:25 UT ±07:22. See more The Lunar Distance (LD), the distance between Earth and the Moon, equals 384,401 km, (o...
