Calcium-rich Gap Transients in the Remote Outskirts of Galaxies From the first two seasons of the Palomar Transient Factory, we identify three peculiar transients (PTF 09dav, PTF 10iuv, and PTF 11bij) with five distinguishing characteristics: peak luminosity in the gap between novae and supernovae (M<SUB>R</SUB> ≈ -15.5 to -16.5 mag), rapid p

James Webb Telescope Finds Unexpected Cosmic Dust in Galaxy Halo

JWST detected faint infrared PAH emission from dust grains over 114,000 ly from the center of the Makani galaxy, where gas temperatures exceed 17,000 °F. getnews.me/james-webb-telescope-fin... #jameswebb #makani #galaxyhalo
