In a new study, astronomers from Yale University and MIT examined the joint spin-orbit and orbit-orbit distribution for exoplanets residing in binary and...
Removing the hydrogen-rich layers from a main sequence star exposes the helium-rich core. Such stripped helium stars are known at high and low masses,...
Mothra is a system of two supergiant stars in one of the extremely magnified galaxies behind the lensing galaxy cluster MACS J0416.1-2403.
Mothra is best...
Be-type stars make up almost 20% of the B star population, and are rapidly rotating stars surrounded by a disk. Although these stars have been known for...
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers are tracking the expansion of the X-ray nebula around Eta Carinae, a luminous binary system...
HIP 81208 is the first binary stellar system with substellar companions around each stellar component ever found by direct imaging.
Astronomers thought...
The millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038 is known to switch between two brightness modes almost constantly, something that until now has been an enigma.
This...
Using spectropolarimetric data gathered by various telescopes around the globe, astronomers from the University of Amsterdam and elsewhere have identified...
WD 0032-317B, a brown dwarf orbiting around the hot, low-mass white dwarf WD 0032-317, is estimated to have a surface temperature of about 8,000 K and...
Earendel, the farthest known star, is a massive B-type star more than twice as hot as our Sun, and about a million times more luminous, according to an...
The giant planet 8 Ursae Minoris b (also known as Halla) orbits the core-helium-burning red giant star 8 Ursae Minoris (Baekdu). At a distance of only...
White dwarf pulsars include a rapidly spinning, burnt-out stellar remnant called a white dwarf, which lashes a companion red dwarf with powerful beams...
Circumbinary planetary systems contain planets that orbit around two stars in the center instead of just one, like in our Solar System.
