We report the discovery of a new M9.0 dwarf at only 8.2 pc, which we identified in our search for nearby ultracool dwarf (I-J>= 3.0, later than M8.0) in the...
Discovery of a new Y dwarf: WISE J030449.03-270508.3
We present a new Y dwarf, WISE J030449.03-270508.3, confirmed from a candidate sample designed to pick out low-temperature objects from the Wide-field Infrared...
Discovery of a nitrogen-enhanced mildly metal-poor binary system: Possible evidence for pollution from an extinct AGB star
We report the serendipitous discovery of a nitrogen-rich, mildly metal-poor ([Fe/H] = -1.08) giant star in a single-lined spectroscopic binary system found in...
Discovery of a planet around the K giant star 4 Ursae Majoris
For the past 3 years we have been monitoring a sample of 62 K giant stars using precise stellar radial velocity measurements with high accuracy taken at the...
Discovery of a planetary nebula surrounding the symbiotic star DT Serpentis
We report the discovery of a planetary nebula centered on the poorly studied symbiotic binary star DT Ser. In a few other symbiotic stars spatially resolved...
Discovery of a pre-cataclysmic binary with unusual chromaticity of the eclipsed white dwarf by the GPX survey
We report the discovery of a relatively bright eclipsing binary system, which consists of a white dwarf (WD) and a main-sequence K7 star with clear signs of...
Discovery of a Protocluster Core Associated with an Enormous Lya Nebula at z = 2.3
The MAMMOTH-1 nebula at z = 2.317 is an enormous Lyα nebula (ELAN) extending to a ~440 kpc scale at the center of the extreme galaxy overdensity BOSS 1441. In...
Discovery of a red ultra-diffuse galaxy in a nearby void based on its globular cluster luminosity function
Distance determinations of extremely low-surface-brightness galaxies are expensive in terms of spectroscopic time. Because of this, their distances are often...
Discovery of a Second Transient Low-Mass X-ray Binary in the Globular Cluster Ngc 6440
We have discovered a new transient low-mass X-ray binary, NGC 6440 X-2, with Chandra/ACIS, RXTE/PCA, and Swift/XRT observations of the globular cluster NGC 6440...
