Stellar Sleuthing: Condor Telescope Unveils Cosmic Secrets of Faint Universe

The Condor Array Telescope’s recent achievements include clarifying the nature of stellar streams around NGC 5907 and discovering new gas shells around the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis, underscoring its ability to capture faint astronomical features.

A new telescope called the “Condor Array Telescope” may open up a new world of the very-low-brightness Universe for astrophysicists. Four new papers, published back to back in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) this month, present the first scientific findings based on observations acquired by Condor. The project is a collaborative led by scientists in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University and the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH).
