Supernova SN 2009bw has got dimmer.
The supernova SN 2009bw that was discovered at THO is getting dimmer. At the moment of the photographing (22/23.4.2009) it had a brightness of 15,0R magnitudes. Observers: Markku Nissinen and Esa Heikkinen.
GRB 090418B was too dim to be observed.
Taurus Hill Observatory research team members Markku Nissinen and Veli-Pekka Hentunen observed the afterglow of the GRB 090418B with the Global-rent-a-scope GRAS002 Tak Mewlon 0,3 meter telescope that is located in the New Mexico. Markku And Veli-Pekka used 600 sec. unfiltered exposure times. The pictures were taken about 19 hours after the detection of the GRB 19.4.2009 klo […]
C/2009 F6 (Yi-SWAN) observed at Taurus Hill Observatory.
The research team member Markku Nissinen photgraphed the C/2009 F6 (Yi-SWAN) 8.4.2009. Observer: Markku Nissinen.
Supernova SN 2009bu observed.
Markku Nissinen observed the supernova SN 2009bu with the RAS Observatory remote telescope Observer: Markku Nissinen.
Supernova SN 2009bw is getting dimmer and dimmer.
The supernova SN 2009bw that was discovered at Taurus Hill Observatory 14th of April is getting dimmer and dimmer according the latest measurements. Observer: Markku Nissinen. According the measurements made (so far) at Taurus Hill Observatory, the following light curve was produced.
The 2009 FH photographed by the research team
The 2009 FH is a small stellar object. It has only a dimension of 15 meters. 2009 FH passed near the Earth 18.3.2009. Markku Nissinen and Veli-Pekka Hentunen, who are the members of the Taurus Hill Observatory research team, photgraphed this event by using the Mayhill (NM) remote observatory. Despite the 2009 FH is a very small object, it […]
SN 2009bw photographed and measured again at Taurus Hill Observatory.
Supernova SN 2009bw that was discovered at Taurus Hill Observatory had a maximum brightness of 14.8R 3.4.2009. It was a bit smaller than the measurements indicated 1.4.2009. Observers: Markku Nissinen and Esa Heikkinen.
Supernova SN 2009N monitored at Taurus Hill Observatory.
Supernova SN 2009N is one of the supernovae that Taurus Hill Observatory monitors. The research team measures the brightness of the supernova regularly with the photometric R -filter. The results are posted to the Italian astronomers. The brightness of the SN 2009N changes very slowly and it is type IIP supernova. The brightness of the SN […]
C/2008 T2 (Cardinal) photographed by the Hentunen and Nissinen.
Comet C/2008 T2 (Cardinal) is located in high elevation in the Auriga constellation. It has a brightness of 11 magnitudes so it is visible only with the large telescopes. The Taurus Hill Observatory research team photographed this very dim comet 1.4.2009. Observers: Markku Nissinen and Veli-Pekka Hentunen.
