LAMOST Helps to Propose New Method Searching for Clusters in Andromeda Galaxy
Thursday, 24 March 2022 07:13
Making use of the LAMOST spectra data as the training sample, a research team led by Dr. WANG Shoucheng and Prof. MA Jun from National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) proposed a new method to search for star clusters in the Andromeda galaxy.
With this method, the researchers identified 117 new high-confidence cluster candidates in the Andromeda galaxy based IXPE checks out x-rays from extreme objects

NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission, a joint effort with the Italian Space Agency, has returned data that no other spacecraft has obtained before from a few extreme cosmic objects.
Launched in December 2021, IXPE has detected polarized X-rays from three of its first six targets. Polarized X-rays carry unique details about where the light comes from and what it passes t Nearby star could help explain why our Sun didn't have sunspots for 70 years

he number of sunspots on our Sun typically ebbs and flows in a predictable 11-year cycle, but one unusual 70-year period when sunspots were incredibly rare has mystified scientists for three hundred years. Now a nearby Sun-like star seems to have paused its own cycles and entered a similar period of rare starspots, according to a team of researchers at Penn State.
