 Two stellar populations found in globular clusterThursday, November 26, 2009 VLT's MAD and Keck's NIRSPEC instruments team up to discover a puzzling population in one of the Milky Way's most massive globular clusters. The group of astronomers, among them Mike Rich from UCLA, have found that Terzan 5 has two distinct stellar... |
 UCLA Infrared Lab celebrates its 20th anniversaryFriday, November 20, 2009 The UCLA Infrared Laboratory celebrated it's 20th Anniversary. Founded in 1989 by Eric Becklin and Ian McLean, the IR Lab works to produce instruments for the Keck 10-meter telescopes and other upcoming facilities. |
 Physicists discover the origin of cosmic raysMonday, November 9, 2009 UCLA Physicist Rene Ong and his collaborators have used VERITAS to discover where cosmic rays come from. The team observed the nearby starburst galaxy M82 and found high-energy particles. The galaxy has no blackhole-related activity, but it has a high... |
 Andromeda/Triangulum galactic encounter revealedThursday, September 3, 2009 A group of astronomers including UCLA's Mike Rich present the Pan-Andromeda Archeological Survey (PAndAS). The survey uncovered a disperse halo around the Triangulum galaxy and a mild warp to the Andromeda galaxy's disk. These observations point to an... |
 Astronomers locate origin of super-energetic burstsThursday, July 2, 2009 A group of astronomers including UCLA's Mike Rich present the Pan-Andromeda Archeological Survey (PAndAS). The survey uncovered a disperse halo around the Triangulum galaxy and a mild warp to the Andromeda galaxy's disk. These observations point to an... |
 Radio telescope images reveal planet-forming disk orbiting twin sunsWednesday, June 10, 2009 UCLA astronomers David Rodriguez and Ben Zuckerman along with collaborators from RIT and CfA have used the Submillimeter Array to image the molecular disk around V4046 Sagittarii. The circumbinary disk around this 12 million year old T Tauri system... |
 Astronomers find "ballistic" starsWednesday, January 7, 2009 A team of astronomers, among them Mark Morris of UCLA, have used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to discover 14 young, runaway stars plowing through regions of dense interstellar gas. These stars are traveling at more than 112,000 miles an hour (180,000... |
 Spitzer observes dusty white dwarf asteroidsMonday, January 5, 2009 UCLA astronomers Michael Jura and Ben Zuckerman as well as Jay Farihi at Leicester University have used Spitzer to detect the remains of shredded asteroids around 6 white dwarfs. The results suggest that the same materials that make up our solar... |
 First pictures of extrasolar planetsFriday, November 14, 2008 Benjamin Zuckerman from UCLA is co-author of a paper recently published in which astronomers report obtaining an image of a star orbited by giant planets, the first image of multiple planets orbiting a star outside of our solar system. Five coauthors on... |
 Astronomers selected for first observations with SOFIAThursday, October 23, 2008 Three astronomers, among them Mark Morris of UCLA, have been selected to participate in the first observations of the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), a highly modified Boeing 747SP aircraft that carries a 2.5-meter (98-inch)... |
