Description
H-alpha observations of AG Peg, obtained using an IPCS detector on the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope of the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos on November 13-14, 1986, are reported. A mask reducing the effective entrance aperture to 55 cm and a neutral filter limiting the photon flux to 14 photons/frame were employed in 15-msec/frame exposures (total exposure time 790 sec), and the frame recentering and selection algorithm of Rosa and Fuensalida (1987) was applied to improve the sharpness of the H-alpha image. AG Peg is shown to have a SE lobe about 4 arcsec from its center, a more intense and concentrated NW lobe about 5 arcsec from center, and an unresolved emission source less than 1.7 arcsec NE of center. With background subtracted, the external nebulosity is found to account for about 33 percent of the total H-alpha emission.

    Constraining the TeV gamma-ray emission of SN 2024bch, a possible type IIn-L from a red supergiant progenitor: Multiwavelength observations and analysis of the progenitor
    We present very high-energy optical photometry and spectroscopic observations of SN 2024bch in the nearby galaxy NGC 3206 (∼20 Mpc). We used gamma-ray observations performed with the first Large-Sized Telescope (LST-1) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) and optical observations with the Liverpool Telescope (LT) combined with data

    An ALMA Band 7 survey of SDSS/Herschel quasars in Stripe 82: I. The properties of the 870 micron counterparts
    Context. Over the past 15 years, studies of quasars in the far-infrared (FIR) have reported host luminosities ranging from 10 12 to 10 14 L ⊙. These luminosities, often derived from Herschel/SPIRE photometry, suggest star formation rates (SFRs) of up to several thousand M ⊙ yr ‑1, positioning them among the most luminous starburst galaxies in the

    Transit timing variations in HIP 41378: CHEOPS and TESS confirm a non-transiting sixth planet in the system
    In multiple-planet systems, gravitational interactions of exoplanets could lead to transit timing variations (TTVs), whose amplitude becomes significantly enhanced when planets are in or near mean-motion resonances (MMRs), making them more easily detectable. In cases where both TTVs and radial velocity (RV) measurements are available, combined
