Astronomers led by Manisha Caleb report discovery of previously unknown radio source PSR J0901-4046. It seems to be emitted by a pulsar (neutron star), but the time between the pulses is unusually long - 76 seconds. Previous slowest pulsar PSR J0250+5854 had a period of 24 seconds.
Astronomers led by Byeong-Cheol Lee have made a groundbreaking discovery, detecting a brown dwarf orbiting the red giant HD 18438. With a radius of 89 times that of the Sun, HD 18438 is now the largest known star to be orbited by an exoplanet or brown dwarf.
