The outburst was predicted in 1988 by
other astronomers who had analysed data going back nearly a century, which revealed that eruptions from OJ 287 were observed about once every 11.6 years.
SETI efforts to date have only garnered a small, scattered amount of time on large radio telescopes, and they typically «piggyback» on other scientific observations, passively listening to whatever
target other astronomers are investigating.
The team has time on the one large telescope in Hawaii that is suited for the search, and they
hope other astronomers will join in the hunt.
ICON To celebrate the Hubble telescope's 25th anniversary, Zoltan Levay and
other astronomers reimaged the famous Pillars of Creation.
Even if Batygin and Brown can
convince other astronomers that Planet X exists, they face another challenge: explaining how it ended up so far from the sun.
In the past,
other astronomers considered NGC 1400 to be a foreground galaxy, in the same direction as NGC 1407 but at only one - third of the distance.
So Marengo and two
other astronomers decided to take a close look at the star using data taken with the Infrared Array Camera of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
Wendy Freedman of the Carnegie Observatories in California, Barry Madore of the California Institute of Technology, and 25
other astronomers searched M100, a large spiral galaxy.
Luckily, Spergel was, and so were a half -
dozen other astronomers and engineers, including Ed Turner from Princeton's astrophysics department, Sara Seager from the nearby Institute for Advanced Study, and Michael Littman and Dick Miles from engineering.
In this case, the new policy didn't prevent the false alarm, says Paul Chodas, the JPL scientist who discovered the object,
because other astronomers didn't start sifting through their archived data fast enough.
Use of these telescopes was generally restricted to the community they served, even
excluding other astronomers within the same nation.
[2] Other astronomers, including Friedrich Winnecke, Edward Charles Pickering, Ernst Hartwig and Ernst Zinner looked for a star in this location without success.
The figure is in close agreement with measurements by
other astronomers based on observations of supernovae, or of variable stars called Cepheids.
Chatterjee and
other astronomers presented their findings to the American Astronomical Society's meeting in Grapevine, Texas, in the scientific journal Nature, and in companion papers in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Also that year,
other astronomers produced a «movie» showing motions in the jet of material ejected from the disk around Scorpius X-1's neutron star.
He dubbed it Georgium Sidus — Latin for «George's Star» — after his sponsor King George III, but
other astronomers protested, and it was eventually given the name Uranus, sticking with the usual nomenclature of ancient Greek / Roman gods.
It means that on average, each paper published by a Canadian astronomer has been quoted 16 times by
other astronomers around the world, and that this average is the best recorded for all countries.
G2 makes an unusual, 300 - year elliptical orbit around the black hole and Ghez's group calculated its closest approach occurred this summer — later than
other astronomers believed — and they were in place at Keck Observatory to gather the data.
Although he was correct, his research was ignored by
other astronomers until the 1970's when astronomers began to realise that most of the matter in the universe must be of a dark, unseen type.
Late on Thursday night, Johnson, Murray - Clay, and
other astronomers started an online petition to «support the people who were targets of Geoff Marcy's inappropriate behavior.»
He and
other astronomers say the spinning binary, just 1.8 AU apart, could create «gravitational chaos» near the hypothesized planet, perhaps flinging it from the system.
