Supernovae SN2007kc, SN2007kj and SN2007kk.
We took CCD images of three recently found supernovae at THO 9/19 October 2007 night. Observers: Veli-Pekka Hentunen, Markku Nissinen and Henri Taino. SN2007kc had been photographed also earlier at THO.
TrES-4 exoplanet transit observed at THO.
In Hercules constallation is located an exoplanet named TrES-4. This exoplanet was discovered last year and the discovery was published in August. Its radius is even 1.67 Rjup and so it is the biggest known exoplanet. This object lies 1435 ly far away from the Earth. TrES-4 diminishes light of its host star about 0.01 magnitude. Now […]
