The astronomical community is eagerly waiting for the stellar event of the year: the eruption of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), 78 years after its previous outburst. We are looking at...
We report the discovery of a new variable star in the field of Messier 31, part of an ongoing survey program. As part of our survey of the Messier 31 galaxy, we spotted a...
We report the discovery of a new variable star in the field of Messier 33, part of an ongoing survey program. As part of our survey of the Messier 33 galaxy, we spotted a...
We report the discovery of a probable nova in Messier 31, found during our survey work on this galaxy. Updates 3 Oct.: 3.7776 Oct. 2023, R= 17.4 2 Oct.: 2.7636 Oct. 2023, R= 17.8...
We report the discovery of two new variables star in the field of Messier 33, part of a dedicated survey we recently started. The image above comes from the combination of 28, 120-second unfiltered...
We report the discovery of the long term, large variability of the optical counterpart of the NVSS J004354+404634 radio source in the field of Messier 31, found during our survey of this galaxy. Our investigations...
Nei prossimi giorni, gli ultimi dell’anno, ricorre un avvenimento di straordinaria importanza per l’Osservatorio Astronomico “Bellatrix”, che ospita il Virtual Telescope Project e che al tempo si apprestava ad operare come struttura permanente a Ceccano...
After our first observations of this new season, we looked at V1647 Ori and McNeil Nebula again, to collect new data. The star looked fainter than our previous observations, suggesting the source is finally fading after...
The McNeil Nebula and the associated V1647 Ori variable star have been a target of opportunity for the author since it was discovered back in 2004. Every year, at Virtual Telescope we spend some...
V1647 Ori and the associated McNeil Nebula continues to amaze us at Virtual Telescope every time we look at them. We have been tracking it since it was discovered in 2004. Every year we...
Messier 101 surely is one of the most beautiful spiral galaxies out there. Because of its relative proximity (about 20 millions of light years), its face-on geometry and the elegance of its arm, the...
Among the most observed objects ever at Virtual Telescope, the McNeil Nebula and V1647 Ori were observed again, seven month after the previous visit. This star is a very young, pre-main sequence object and...
On 23 Feb. 2014, we visited again the McNeil nebula and V1647 Ori, after we spotted the latter in outburst last Oct and found it still bright at the end of Jan. We found...
On 28 Jan. 2014, we visited again the McNeil nebula and V1647 Ori, after we spotted the latter in outburst last Oct. We found the star still well visible, though likely a bit...
