SIMBAD4

• PDF] The SIMBAD astronomical database. (semanticscholar.org)
• article{Wenger2000TheSA, title={The SIMBAD astronomical database. (semanticscholar.org)
• Simbad is the reference database for identification and bibliography of astronomical objects. (semanticscholar.org)
• If it is an object name, it is resolved into coordinates using NED and, if that fails, SIMBAD. (caltech.edu)

Celestial2

• Best for finding planets and other celestial objects easily with Celestron's SkyAlign technology. (space.com)
• There are rules to naming celestial beasties, enforced by the International Astronomical Union (or IAU to those in the know), and pretty much agreed-upon by the astronomical community at large. (syfy.com)

Planets5

• Brown dwarfs are astronomical objects with masses between those of planets and stars. (eurekalert.org)
• An international team, led by scientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS, in collaboration with the University of Bern, has identified five objects that have masses near the border separating stars and brown dwarfs that could help scientists understand the nature of these mysterious objects. (eurekalert.org)
• One of the clues the scientists found to show these objects are brown dwarfs is the relationship between their size and age, as explained by François Bouchy, professor at UNIGE and member of the NCCR PlanetS: "Brown dwarfs are supposed to shrink over time as they burn up their deuterium reserves and cool down. (eurekalert.org)
• They include dwarf planets such as Pluto and Eris as well as small Kuiper Belt objects like Arrokoth , a rocky body visited by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2019. (livescience.com)
• Gaze through telescopes at the night sky and view the Moon, planets, star clusters, and other astronomical objects! (uwm.edu)

Telescopes3

• Since 2020, a "sonification" project has transformed astronomical data from some of the world's most powerful telescopes into sound. (si.edu)
• But then astronomers decided to make better telescopes and more sensitive cameras, and the next thing you know there are thousands of objects that need names! (syfy.com)
• Covariance of lucky images for increasing objects contrast: diffraction-limited images in ground-based telescopes, Manuel P. Cagigal et al. (nih.gov)

Outer1

• 2. We conduct observational analytical research on the volatile and organic rich Solar System Bodies by focusing on astronomical surveying of outer solar system objects and performing in-house analyses of meteorite, interplanetary dust particle, and Comet Wild 2/81P samples with an emphasis on characterizing the distribution, state and chemical history of primitive organic matter. (nasa.gov)

Weird2

• Others think that the combined gravity of lots of little objects, or, alternatively, nothing more than a statistical anomaly , explain the weird orbits. (livescience.com)
• An embarrassing problem that's come up in recent years is a weird one: naming astronomical objects. (syfy.com)

Trans-Neptuni5

• More than 3,000 trans-Neptunian objects, or TNOs, have been identified in these icy reaches. (livescience.com)
• Nine are known as extreme trans-Neptunian objects, which have orbits that swing out at least 150 AUs from the sun. (livescience.com)
• The findings are exciting, the researchers wrote in their paper, because the Dark Energy Survey wasn't meant as a search for trans-Neptunian objects. (livescience.com)
• Making it a bit more difficult is the rule that such objects (generically called Trans-Neptunian Objects) have to be named after mythological figures associated with creation. (syfy.com)
• 2007 OR10 is one of the largest Trans-Neptunian Objects found, among the top ten so far (note: The diameter is somewhat uncertain). (syfy.com)

International Astro1

• We have a custom-built, on-campus observatory recognised by the International Astronomical Union, a radio telescope, a CT scanner, new microscopes, MRI scanners, a scanning tunnelling microscope and an ionising radiation laboratory. (ntu.ac.uk)

Galaxies1

• They turned up 39 such objects that they think represent what most early galaxies were actually like. (astronomy.com)

Orbits4

• These objects are all in close orbits of 5-27 days (at least 3 times closer than Mercury is to the sun) around their much larger host stars. (eurekalert.org)
• These extraordinarily distant objects might shed light on Planet Nine, a theoretical, never-observed body that might be hiding in deep space, its gravity affecting the orbits of some of the rocky objects at the solar system 's edge. (livescience.com)
• At these distances, the objects are hardly affected by Neptune's gravity, but their strange orbits suggest an influence from outside the solar system. (livescience.com)
• Detached objects, sometimes known as extended scattered disc objects, tend to have huge elliptical orbits. (livescience.com)

Distant objects1

• That means distant objects may appear very different from nearby ones, at least at first glance. (astronomy.com)

Astronomers3

• Yet these objects are so close to the limit that they could just as easily be very low-mass stars, and astronomers are still unsure whether they are brown dwarfs. (eurekalert.org)
• At least 155 of the newly discovered objects are what astronomers called "detached. (livescience.com)
• Help astronomers name a Trans-Neptunian Object! (syfy.com)

Nearby2

• The scientific study of nearby astronomical objects by reflecting microwaves off the objects and analyzing the echoes. (dictionary.com)
• Finding nearby objects is computationally intensive, so we have precomputed a 0.5-arcminute neighbors search for each object in the photoObjAll table. (sdss.org)

Gravity1

• Black holes are astronomical objects famed for their extreme gravity. (nasa.gov)

Found2

• The concept of utility time is introduced to measure the impact of the ADS/URANIA and the electronic astronomical library on astronomical research and it is found that in 2002 it amounted to the equivalent of 736 full-time researchers, or $250 million, or the astronomical research done in France. (semanticscholar.org)
• Here we found that the two oldest objects, TOI 148 and 746, have a smaller radius, while the two younger companions have larger radii. (eurekalert.org)

Data3

• It contains identifications, "basic data", bibliography, and selected observational measurements for several million astronomical objects. (semanticscholar.org)
• Each sonification has its own technique to translate the astronomical data into sound. (si.edu)
• Gamma-ray bursts, variable stars, characterizing variable astronomical objects in newly-available longer-term time series data. (csbsju.edu)

Neptune2

• A six-year search of space beyond the orbit of Neptune has netted 461 newly discovered objects. (livescience.com)
• Out in deep space, beyond the orbit of Neptune, a population of objects was long theorized: icy worlds, with rock as well, distributed in a puffy disk that extends out for hundreds of billion of kilometers until it merges with a spherical cloud of such bodies. (syfy.com)

Scientists1

• Scientists expect Lofar to discover hitherto unknown types of astronomical objects. (astron.nl)

Researchers1

• The newly discovered objects could thus help researchers hone in on the possible Planet Nine - or disprove its existence. (livescience.com)

Environments1

• The unique spin textures of the engineered thermal emission from our metasurfaces can be exploited as high-contrast infrared beacons in outdoor environments, as the background thermal emission from other natural objects is highly incoherent without any spin textures. (purdue.edu)

Stack1

• Afterwards, sophisticated computer software takes this ordered "stack" of images, calculates how the object would look from different perspectives, and later displays them as 3D views of life that can be streamed as short videos. (nih.gov)

Solar5

• Many of the objects just discovered hail from the Kuiper Belt, a distant region of the solar system full of icy bodies. (livescience.com)
• The objects in the study are all at least 30 AU away, in a region of the solar system that is almost unimaginably dark and lonely. (livescience.com)
• Artwork depicting the Kuiper Belt Object (225088) 2007 OR10, the largest object in the solar system that still has not been named. (syfy.com)
• It's the largest known object in the solar system that still doesn't have a name. (syfy.com)
• The name "quasar" is derived from them being "quasi-stellar objects," as a single quasar emits the same amount of light as a trillion stars, all the while occupying an area of space that is smaller than our Solar System. (inverse.com)

Variable1

• An evaluation of the classification criteria will be presented and the variable nomenclature used to designate the astronomical objects is one of the obstacles to be taken into account to derive a significant measure of the impact of the various papers dealing with one object. (semanticscholar.org)

Types1

• Astronomical objects may be classified into types in many ways, and the evolution of such categorisations changes with new discoveries and progress in astrophysical understanding. (semanticscholar.org)

Black1

• Three new objects - a star-forming region, a supernova remnant, and a black hole at the center of a galaxy - are being released. (si.edu)

Earth3

• An astronomical unit is the distance from the Earth to the sun, about 93 million miles or 149.6 million kilometers). (livescience.com)
• Surprisingly, the thermal radiation reaching the earth from many astronomical objects possesses significant circular polarization. (purdue.edu)
• Another object of the Paracelsians' attack was the ancient system of elements: Earth, Air, Water and Fire with their attendant qualities and humors. (nih.gov)

View2

• The distinct spectral signature of globulars, combined with their lack of dust and gas, gave rise to the view that they represent some of the oldest objects in the universe, mostly composed of old red giants in regions where no new stars are forming. (icr.org)
• The field of view is somewhat limited, but this is not a deal breaker as the SkyAlign software and GoTo system make it easy to find objects. (space.com)

Time3

• Six years of observation from the Blanco Telescope in Cerro Tololo in Chile yielded a total of 817 confirmed new objects, 461 of which are now being described for the first time in a paper posted on the preprint server arXiv . (livescience.com)
• Of the 461 objects described for the first time in the new paper, a few stand out. (livescience.com)
• The program interface is for one object at a time. (caltech.edu)

Interest1

• Today, the international team characterized five companions that were originally identified with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as TESS objects of interest (TOI) - TOI-148, TOI-587, TOI-681, TOI-746 and TOI-1213. (eurekalert.org)

Stars1

• Even with these additional objects, we still lack the numbers to draw definitive conclusions about the differences between brown dwarfs and low-mass stars. (eurekalert.org)

Study1

• To get a better idea of what these mysterious objects are, we need to study examples in detail. (eurekalert.org)

Region1

• The Kuiper Belt is a region of icy objects orbiting between about 30 AUs and 50 AUs from the sun. (livescience.com)

Find1

• But as with any astronomical target, the brighter an object is, the easier it is to find. (astronomy.com)

Images1

• This plugin evaluates the COvariancE of Lucky Images for increasing contrast and resolution of astronomical binary objects. (nih.gov)
