Astronomers studying distant objects call these stars «foreground stars» and they are often not very happy about them, as their bright light is contaminating the faint light from the more distant and interesting objects they actually want to study.

Swift also may see faint bursts from the first stars in the universe: giant objects that probably created large black holes more than 13 billion years ago, Grindlay predicts.

In earlier observations, emission from two or more faint objects often was blurred or blended into what appeared to be a single, stronger source of radio waves.

However, the researchers pointed out, the remaining 4 percent of the radio emission could be coming from as many as 100 billion very faint objects.

What I'm trying to find are very faint objects that reflect and re-emit the light from a host star nearby.

The FOS examined fainter objects than the High Resolution Spectrograph (HRS), and could study these objects across a much wider spectral range — from the UV (1150 Angstroms) through the visible red and the near - IR (8000 Angstroms).

Initial data came from the TRENDS (TaRgetting bENchmark - objects with Doppler Spectroscopy) high - contrast imaging survey that uses adaptive optics and related technologies to target older, faint objects orbiting nearby stars, and precise measurements were made at the W.
