Astronomers Discover Secret Planetary System Hiding in the Arms of Cassiopea

Astronomers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and members of the NCCR PlanetS have teased out a secret planetary system hiding in the arms of Cassiopea, just 21 light years away from us. The remarkable system, named HD219134, hosts one outer giant planet and three inner super-Earths, one of which transits in front of the star.

Novel Method for Gaining Insight into Mechanical Systems Behavior at Classical-Quantum World Interface

Scientists at Freie Universität Berlin in the group of physics professor Jens Eisert developed a novel method for gaining insight into the complex behavior of mechanical systems at the micro and nano scale. These systems are located at the interface of the physical worlds that, on the one hand, are described by classical mechanics, and on the other, by quantum theory, i.e., the theory of the behavior of atoms, molecules, and modes of light.

Astronomers Detect Lithium Ejected by Nova Centauri 2013

The chemical element lithium has been found for the first time in material ejected by a nova. Observations of Nova Centauri 2013 made using telescopes at ESO's La Silla Observatory, and near Santiago in Chile, help to explain the mystery of why many young stars seem to have more of this chemical element than expected.

Physicists Develop Fully-Symmetric Formulation of Quantum Theory

Theoretical physicists at the Université libre de Bruxelles have developed a fully-symmetric formulation of quantum theory which establishes an exact link between asymmetry and the fact that we can remember the past but not the future...

Astronomers Discover Aurora from Low-Mass Star

Astronomers have discovered the first aurora ever seen in an object beyond our Solar System. The aurora -- similar to the famous "Northern Lights" on Earth -- is 10,000 times more powerful than any previously seen. They found the aurora not from a planet, but from a low-mass star at the boundary between stars and brown dwarfs.

Astronomers will "Hear" More Colliding Black Holes Through Gravitational Waves

The coalescence of two black holes -- a very violent and exotic event -- is one of the most sought-after observations of modern astronomy. But, as these mergers emit no light of any kind, finding such elusive events has been impossible so far.

Trapped Atomic Ion System Could Potentially Support Symmetry-Protected Quantum State

Symmetry permeates nature, from the radial symmetry of flowers to the left-right symmetry of the human body. As such, it provides a natural way of classifying objects by grouping those that share the same symmetry.

Undergraduates Discover Densest Ultracompact Dwarf Galaxies

Two undergraduates at San José State University have discovered two galaxies that are the densest known. Similar to ordinary globular star clusters but a hundred to a thousand times brighter, the new systems have properties intermediate in size and luminosity between galaxies and star clusters.
