Descripción
The currently active neutron star transient and atoll source Aql X-1 (Linares et al., ATEL #2288) has begun the transition from the hard (extreme island) state to the soft (banana) state (Rodriguez et al. ATEL #2299). This transition likely began around 2009 Nov 15 (MJD = 55150). The latest RXTE PCA observation (2009 Nov 17, MJD=55152.17+/-0.02, 2-60 keV fractional rms variability amplitude of ~11% for 0.1-10 Hz) indicates that the source is in the intermediate (island) state.

    Triple-Double Radio Galaxies: Clues for understanding recurrent AGN activity
    Using LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS), we discovered three cycles of episodic jet activity (J1225+4011, Chavan et al. 2023, MNRAS) in a giant radio galaxy, which is an extremely rare class of restarted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), making it only fourth of its kind. It is also called 'Triple-Double Radio Galaxy' (TDRG). J1225+4011 extends up to

    Galaxy archaeology - The quest for ancient mergers
    The hierarchical assembly of galaxies through mergers is a key channel of galaxy evolution in the ΛCDM cosmological model. Quantifying these ancient transformative accretion events from observations of present day galaxies is a crucial goal of extragalactic archeology. Achieving this goal is challenging as the dominant epoch of galaxy assembly lies

    RAD@home Citizen Scientists Uncover Emerging Jet-Galaxy Interactions
    The RAD12 object's recent investigation (Hota et al. 2022), via the RAD@home Astronomy Collaboratory, has provided a streamlined and focused perspective on the complex subject of jet-galaxy interactions, which has always posed a significant challenge for observational confirmation. This emerging field holds increasing significance, providing a
