Title: Discovery of an Apparent High Latitude Galactic Supernova Remnant Author: Robert Fesen, Jack Neustadt, Christine Black, Ari Koeppel Deep Halpha images of a faint emission complex 4.0 x 5.5 degrees in angular extent and located far off the Galactic plane at l = 70.0 degrees, b=-21.5 degrees...

If, for some reason, you managed to make an egg stand on its end during the recent equinox, experimental physicists could do with your help. An exquisitely sensitive experiment that can only be performed during equinoxes could test some of the theories that offer an alternative to dark matter. Star...

Title: Sunspot areas and tilt angles for solar cycles 7-10 Author: V. Senthamizh Pavai, R. Arlt, M. Dasi-Espuig, N. Krivova, S. Solanki Extending the knowledge about the properties of solar cycles into the past is essential for understanding the solar dynamo. This paper aims at estimating areas o...

Title: Starspots on WASP-85 Author: T. Mocnik, B. Clark, D. R. Anderson, C. Hellier, D. J. A. Brown By analysing K2 short-cadence observations we detect starspots on WASP-85A, the host star of the hot Jupiter WASP-85Ab. The star shows a rotational modulation with a period of 13.6 ± 0.1 d. The absence...

Title: Spitzer Microlens Measurement of a Massive Remnant in a Well-Separated Binary Author: Y. Shvartzvald, A. Udalski, A. Gould, C. Han, V. Bozza, M. Friedmann, M. Hundertmark, C. Beichman, G. Bryden, S. Calchi Novati, S. Carey, M. Fausnaugh, B. S. Gaudi, C. B. Henderson, T. Kerr, R. W. Pogge, W....

Frantic activity revealed in dusty stellar factories Thanks to the Very Large Telescope's acute and powerful near-infrared eye, astronomers have uncovered a host of new young, massive and dusty stellar nurseries in nearby galaxy NGC 253. The centre of this galaxy appears to harbour a twin of our o...

Comet P/1999 R1 = 2003 R5 = 2007 R5 (SOHO) This comet was discovered by Bo Zhou on September 10, 2007 on real time images transmitted by the coronagraph C2 of the SOHO satellite. Sebastian Hönig (2006, Astron. Astrophysics. 445, 759) had previously announced the perihelion return of the comet C...
