Candidate Gravitationally Lensed Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies in the Herschel Wide Area Surveys
H. Nayyeri et al 2016 ApJ 823 17
77 candidate gravitationally lensed dusty star-forming galaxies have been detected. These galaxies make ideal tools for studying the detailed properties of starburst phenomena in distant galaxies.
NuSTAR Resolves the First Dual AGN Above 10 keV in SWIFT J2028.5+2543
Michael J. Koss et al 2016 ApJ 824 L4
The superior spatial resolution of NuSTAR above 10 keV allowed for the detection of dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the source SWIFT J2028.5+2543. This pair has a projected separation of 25.3 kpc.
Measurement Of The Black Hole Mass In NGC 1332 From ALMA Observations At 0.044 Arcsecond Resolution
Aaron J. Barth et al 2016 ApJ 822 L28
NGC 1332 is used to demonstrate that by resolving gas kinematics on small angular scales in galaxy nuclei, ALMA is able to measure determine the masses of supermassive black holes.
Discovery of Three Pulsating, Mixed-Atmosphere, Extremely Low-Mass White Dwarf Precursors
A. Gianninas et al 2016 ApJ 822 L27
Three precursors to extremely low-mass white dwarfs with mixed H/He atmospheres were recently discovered to have asteroseismic pulsations, providing insight into what causes the pulsations.
The First Fermi LAT Supernova Remnant Catalog
F. Acero et al 2016 ApJS 224 8
The first systematic supernova remnant survey at energies from 1 to 100 GeV — using data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) — reveals 30 sources as likely GeV supernova remnants.
