A new study published in Nature Communications is shedding new light on the theory of stellar evolution. Astronomers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that the way a star forms has an impact ...

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 ...

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will map the Milky Way using infrared observations, studying star formation, stellar evolution, star clusters, and hidden galactic structures over a two-year survey.

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 ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Astronomers have found evidence that some stars boast unexpectedly strong surface magnetic fields, a discovery that challenges current models of how they evolve. In stars like our sun ...

Astronomers have discovered a new type of binary star, that was missing for decades, which represents a "missing link" in the evolution of so-called extremely low mass (ELM) white dwarfs. When 97 ...

We have more Betelbuddy news, and the little companion star to Betelgeuse is turning out to be an oddball. Astronomers didn't think these kinds of stars still existed—until now. Astronomers have ...
