Stars are the fundamental building blocks of our universe. Most stars host planets, like our sun hosts our solar system, and ...

The article discusses the challenges in measuring the basic properties of stars due to their astronomical distances. It ...

A pair of stars orbiting one another has been found near the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* using the European ...

It's around 1.6 times the mass of the Sun, Howell and his colleagues believe, at an orbital separation of 4 astronomical ...

The two objects make for a strange pair. Unlike Betelgeuse, which is approaching the end of its life, the blue-white ...

The binary star system ν Octantis has long been considered hostile to planet formation. The discovery of a white dwarf in the system offers an alternative view.

Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion, formed via common envelope evolution. Although such ...

Improving the speed of assessing binary stars by a factor of millions, as presented by PHOEBAI, is so exciting because of just how many stars in the universe exist in binary and multi-star systems.

Astronomers led by Simon Portegies Zwart used simulations to reconstruct how three stars were ejected from the star cluster ...

The discovery may help us better understand how binary stars interact, share mass, and evolve into systems with fast-spinning neutron stars. Yang says the pulsar is spinning even faster than ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, witnessed a star meeting a dramatic end by exploding twice. In a study published in Nature Astronomy, researchers analyzed the centuries-old remains of supernova ...
