The asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered in late December 2024, and over the next several weeks as its orbit was refined its estimated probability of an Earth impact in 2032 rose above 3%. Per international protocols, the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) issued a memo alerting the Space Mission Planning Advisory Group (SMPAG) and the

We report the discovery of a previously uncatalogued extended emission nebula, hereafter JAM 1, detected in ultra-deep [O III] and Hα narrowband imaging. Located at 18 h56 m25 s, + 30 ° 42 ' 06 ″ (J2000), JAM 1 exhibits a nearly spherical morphology with an angular diameter of ≈864″ ( 14 . ' 4 ). The object is conspicuous in [O III], while in Hα it

Aims. We present the white dwarf catalog derived from the third data release of the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS DR3), which covers 3284 deg 2 using 12 optical filters. A particular focus is given to the classification of outlier sources, those largely incompatible with the theoretical models used in the analysis, through

Primitive asteroids belonging to the C-complex groups are considered to be among the most ancient and least thermally altered bodies in the Solar System. They are thought to preserve a record of early Solar System conditions, including the primordial distribution of volatiles and organic compounds that may have played a role in the emergence of

The HyperScout-H hyperspectral imager (HS-H) is one of the payloads aboard ESA's Hera spacecraft, launched in October 7, 2024. It is produced by cosine* and its primary objective is to provide a detailed characterization of the near-Earth binary asteroid system (65803) Didymos-Dimorphos, following the impact of NASA's DART mission [1, 2]. HS-H is a

Luminous and ultraluminous IR galaxies are critical for investigating feedback mechanisms due to a combination of intense star formation episodes and active galactic nuclei (AGN), particularly in the context of complex galaxy interactions. We conduct a detailed analysis of the II ZW 096 merging system using the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer on
