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 ...

White dwarfs are the final stop for stars that aren’t massive enough to go out in a supernova. Think of them as the ...

What can binary stars comprised of two different types of stars teach astronomers about stellar evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as a team ...

Young stars need time to grow into their final masses before they begin fusing lighter elements into heavier elements as main ...

Astronomers have discovered that aging stars may be devouring their closest giant planets as they swell into red giants. Using NASA’s TESS telescope to study nearly half a million stars, scientists ...

Ageing stars may be destroying the giant planets orbiting closest to them, according to a new study by astronomers at UCL (University College London) and the University of Warwick. Once stars like the ...

"Our estimated mass-loss rates can be used as a benchmark for stellar wind models and expand our limited observational evidence for the winds of sun-like stars." When you purchase through links on our ...

This image from the ALMA telescope shows star system HD101584 and the complex gas clouds surrounding the binary. It is the result of a pair of stars sharing a common outer layer during their last ...
