A possible magnitude 6.9 nova in the constellation Aquila was discovered on the 29th April, 2009. If the nova is confirmed then it is likely a flare of V500 Aquilae. The last outburst occurred on the 5th September, 1943. V500 Aquilae then reached a maximum brightness of 6.1, and with a normal state mag...

For a small town, Devasthal has astronomical ambitions. Next year, the town in Uttarakhand will host a unique telescope, only among a handful of its kind in the world, that uses a big, spinning bowl of liquid - and not the usual glass mirrors - to focus light from celestial objects. The telescope, with...

Title: What is the closest black hole to the Sun? Authors: C. Foellmi (Version v3) We examine the distance of the two galactic microquasars GRO J1655-40 and A0620-00, which are potentially the two closest black holes to the Sun. We aim to provide a picture as wide and complete as possible of the proble...
