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 ...

From degeneracy to galactic archaeology, white dwarfs are helping scientists make sense of some of the universe's burning ...

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 ...

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 ...
