    Astronomers shed light on different galaxy types
    http://phys.org/news/2016-09-astronomers-galaxy.amp

    In research published today, Australian scientists have taken a critical step towards understanding why different types of galaxies exist throughout the Universe.
    The research, made possible by cutting-edge AAO instrumentation, means that astronomers can now classify galaxies according to their physical properties rather
    than human interpretation of a galaxy's appearance. For the past 200 years, telescopes have been capable of observing galaxies beyond our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
    Only a few were visible to begin with but as telescopes became more powerful, more galaxies were discovered, making it crucial for astronomers to come up with a way
    to consistently group different types of galaxies together.

    Pluto stellar occultation
    Gaia > iow_20160914
    http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/iow_20160914
    On 19 July 2016, Pluto passed in front of the faint star UCAC4 345-180315, offering a rare chance
    to study the atmosphere of the dwarf planet as the star gradually disappeared and then reappeared behind Pluto.

    This stellar occultation was only visible from a narrow strip stretching across Europe, similar to the totality path that a solar eclipse
    lays down on our planet’s surface. Precise knowledge of the star's position was crucial to correctly compute where on Earth the event was
    visible, so the exceptional early release of the Gaia position for this star, which was ten times more precise than previously known, was
    instrumental to the successful monitoring of this rare event.

    HD 30963 is a chemically peculiar star, study finds
    http://phys.org/news/2016-09-hd-chemically-peculiar-star.html

    New research conducted by a team of astronomers from the Paris Observatory in Meudon, France and the Notre Dame University –
    Louaize in Zouk Mosbeh, Lebanon, reveals that a B-type main-sequence star designated HD 30963 has unusual metal overabundances.
    The findings were presented in a paper published Sept. 12 on the arXiv pre-print paper.

    HD 30963 was classified by previous studies as a B9 III superficially normal star; however, the new research showing abnormal metal
    abundances, including overabundances of mercury (Hg) and manganese (Mn), indicates that the star should be reclassified as a B9 HgMn star.

    ALMA Spots Possible Formation Site of Icy Giant Planet - News & Columns - ALMA NAOJ
    http://alma.mtk.nao.ac.jp/...ase/20160914alma_spots_possible_formation_site_of_icy_giant_planet.html
    Astronomers found signs of a growing planet around TW Hydra, a nearby young star, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).
    Based on the distance from the central star and the distribution of tiny dust grains, the baby planet is thought to be an icy giant, similar to
    Uranus and Neptune in our Solar System. This result is another step towards understanding the origins of various types of planets.

    looking back at our Sun, surrounded by its eight planets, then moving away and travelling towards and
    around the Hyades star cluster, the closest open cluster to the Solar System, some 150 light-years away.

    An all-sky view of stars in our Galaxy – the Milky Way – and neighbouring galaxies, based on the first year
    of observations from ESA's Gaia satellite, from July 2014 to September 2015.
    This map shows the density of stars observed by Gaia in each portion of the sky. Brighter regions indicate denser
    concentrations of stars, while darker regions correspond to patches of the sky where fewer stars are observed.

    Hubble Images Three Debris Disks Around G-type Stars - Universe Today
    http://www.universetoday.com/130792/hubble-images-three-debris-disks-around-g-type-stars/
    A team using the Hubble Space Telescope has imaged circumstellar disk structures (CDSs) around three stars similar to our Sun.
    The stars are all G-type solar analogs, and the disks themselves share similarities with our Solar System’s own Kuiper Belt.
    Studying these CDSs will help us better understand their ring-like structure, and the formation of solar systems.

    The team behind the study was led by Glenn Schneider of the Seward Observatory at the University of Arizona. They used the Hubble’s
    Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph to capture the images. The stars in the study are HD 207917, HD 207129, and HD 202628.
