A peculiar celestial couple has been identified about 3,800 light-years away, in the constellation Centaurus. Designated Gaia ...

Astronomers have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars -- 'dead' remnants and 'living' stars -- in young star clusters. This breakthrough offers new insights on an extreme ...

Scientists have detected the first direct evidence of a coronal mass ejection from a star beyond our Sun, specifically the M dwarf StKM1-1262. This ma ...

Nuclear astrophysics plays a pivotal role in informing our understanding of stellar evolution by investigating the nuclear reactions within stars that dictate their birth, evolution, and ultimate fate ...

The evolution of stars and their interactions with compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, remain pivotal in our understanding of the cosmos. Stellar evolution describes the life ...

One of the best places to study stars is inside “open clusters”, which are groups of stars that formed together from the same material and are bound together through gravity. Open clusters act as ...

Lead author Neha Sharma emphasized the study’s significance, noting that “by studying their flickers, we can uncover how stars grow, feed, and shed their dusty wombs.” ...

Researchers have discovered that the mysterious overweight stars known as blue stragglers are the result of ‘stellar cannibalism’ where plasma is gradually pulled from one star to another to form a ...

The discovery reveals the origins of rapidly spinning "Be" stars and their tiny subdwarf companions. Valentine's Day won't be all hearts and flowers for some "kissing stars" When you purchase through ...

An international research team led by a researcher from the University of Vienna has for the first time directly detected stellar winds from three Sun-like stars by recording the X-ray emission from ...

XRISM’s high-precision X-ray data revealed unusually strong signatures of chlorine and potassium inside the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant. These levels are far higher than theoretical models ...
