Detected Supernovae . The search have produced till now the detections of 4 SNe. ... This result highlights the power of infrared monitoring in detecting Obscured SNe and indicates that optical surveys are probably missing a significant fraction of SNe, especially in obscured systems such as starburst galaxies. ... In Fig. we show the archival SOFI image of NGC3256 (left) and the first image obtained in 2001 (right) where SN2001db has been detected. ...

Aims: We present an analysis of a galaxy (SAGE1CJ053634.78-722658.5) at a redshift of 0.14 of which the infrared (IR) emission is entirely dominated by emission associated with the active galactic nucleus. Methods: We present the 5-37 ЮМm Spitzer/IRS spectrum and broad wavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) of SAGE1CJ053634.78-722658.5, an IR point-source detected by Spitzer/SAGE. ... We compare the source with models of emission from dusty tori around AGNs. ...

... The measured gravitational waves match those expected from two large black holes merging after a death spiral in a distant galaxy, with the resulting new black hole momentarily vibrating in a rapid ringdown . ... The featured illustration depicts the two merging black holes with the signal strength of the two detectors over 0.3 seconds superimposed across the bottom. ... Two Black Holes Merge . Advanced LIGO: Gravitational Wave Detectors Upgraded . ... A Step Toward Gravitational Wave Detection ...

One of the goals of ALFALFA (the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey) is that of verifying whether a significant population of optically faint, baryon rich, low mass systems exists. ... ALFALFA has easily detected the cloud VIRGOHI 21, reported by Davies et al. ... The clouds in the complex appear not to be gravitationally bound to one other, and may represent the remnant of an ancient episode of harassment. ...

... In 1992, a discovery was made that changed our view of the Universe: the first alien world was detected circling a distant star. Before this, the existence of these so-called exo-planets had been suggested but not proven. ... In fact, it is now believed that about 2/3 of the stars in the Milky Way probably have at least one planet surrounding them! ... To overcome this set back, astronomers had to be creative. ... In 1992, astronomers found the first exo-planet orbiting a Sun-like star. ...

We report the discovery of a new 21-cm H I absorption system using commissioning data from the Boolardy Engineering Test Array of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). ... The absorption line is detected at z = 0.44 towards the GHz-peaked spectrum radio source PKS B1740-517 and demonstrates ASKAP's excellent capability for performing a future wide-field survey for H I absorption at these redshifts. ...

... The close X-ray binary with relativisic jest, contained probably a black hole, Cygnus X-3 has been detected in first time in Gamma-rays at enegries higher 100 МeV (AGILE, Tavani et al., ... The bright radio flares from Cygnus X-3, caused by the massive ejections of matter with velocity close to speed of light accur in the certain ''huper-sort'' X-ray states (RXTE PCA), that was in the first time determined in the studies of HID -- ''hardness-intensity diagram'' [Fig.4]. ...

... ASTEROID’S MOONS : DISCOVERY BY RADAR . ... Moons of known asteroids have a low position ambiguity, which makes their discovery with powerful ground-based radar much easier than the discovery of new asteroids or other objects of Solar System. ... The other technique is a direct detection of radar echo from an asteroid moon. ... However, the diameter of a ground-based fully-steerable reflector is limited by 120-150 m to make it possible to perform two different functions: focusing and tracking (fig. ...
