This significant finding, published in The Astrophysical Journal, opens a new window into an extreme phase of stellar ...

Even better, binary systems offer many advantages over their solo counterparts, Vidal wrote in his paper, which has not been ...

and it is available on the arXiv preprint server. "Since about half the stars in our galaxy are in binary systems where life ...

Astronomers at the University of Toronto (U of T) have made an exciting discovery: the first pairs of “living” stars and “dead” remnants in young star clusters. These star pairs, called white ...

part of a so-called 'X-ray binary star system' named '4U 1820-30'. It's found in the Sagittarius constellation towards the centre of our galaxy. "We were studying thermonuclear explosions from ...

It is an uncommon type of binary star system displaying chaotic behavior and enveloped by a large nebula — in this case, some of its boundaries reach about 250 billion miles (400 billion ...

Most stars exist in binary systems. In fact, nearly half of all stars similar to our sun have at least one companion star. These paired stars usually differ in size, with one star often being more ...

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 ...

illuminating a long-dead binary star system for the first time in 80 years, according to NASA. The Blaze Star has become a white dwarf, which happens when stars have exhausted their nuclear fuels.

In 1988, Leonid Shakdov developed the first detailed stellar engine model called the Shakdov Thruster. "Since about half the stars in our galaxy are in binary systems where life might develop too ...
