Gracias al rápido seguimiento del resplandor óptico posterior de una de las Breves Explosiones de Rayos Gamma (SRGB por sus siglas en inglés) más distante que se haya detectado, los astrónomos han puesto en duda las teorías sobre el origen de estos estallidos cósmicos.
El primer cometa de más allá de nuestro Sistema Solar ha sido fotografiado con éxito por Gemini en varios colores. La imagen del objeto recién descubierto, denominado C / 2019 Q4 (Borisov), se obtuvo la noche del 9 al 10 de septiembre utilizando el espectrógrafo de objetos múltiples Gemini en el telescopio Gemini Norte en el Maunakea de Hawái

Gemini Observatory provides critical observations that confirm the distance to a mysterious, very short-lived, radio outburst from a galaxy billions of light years away.
Just as high-definition imaging is transforming home entertainment, it is also advancing the way astronomers study the Universe.
Astronomers using adaptive optics on the 8-meter Gemini North telescope have resolved, for the first time in near-infrared light, a giant elliptical galaxy with a young radio jet down to unprecedented scales.
Observations from Gemini Observatory identify a key fingerprint of an extremely distant quasar, allowing astronomers to sample light emitted from the dawn of time. Astronomers happened upon this deep glimpse into space and time thanks to an unremarkable foreground galaxy acting as a gravitational lens, which magnified the quasar’s ancient light.
The new discovery is only 14% the size of the Sun and is the new record holder for the star with the smallest complement of heavy elements. It has about the same heavy element proportion as Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system. Credit: Kevin Schlaufman. Astronomers use the Gemini Observatory to investigate a […]
