Using NASA’s IXPE, astronomers captured an unprecedented view of a white dwarf star actively feeding on material from a companion. The data revealed giant columns of ultra-hot gas shaped by the star’s ...
NASA’s IXPE has just revealed the hidden geometry of a white dwarf’s cosmic feeding frenzy—using X-rays to see what no ...
Even though these characters only appeared in a single episode of a "Star Trek" series, they left an unforgettable mark on ...
Hypervelocity stars (HVS) are celestial bodies moving at speeds sufficient to escape the Milky Way's gravitational pull, with a primary proposed origin involving binary star interactions with the ...
Astronomers have confirmed a giant planet orbiting a tightly bound pair of young stars, marking a first in direct exoplanet imaging. The planet, known as HD 143811 AB b, is the closest-in world ever ...
The bright binary star system V Sagittae will flare up multiple times before finally going supernova within the next 100 years. When it explodes, it could be visible to the naked eye even in sunlit ...
Using NASA's Kepler space telescope, Chinese astronomers have observed a binary star system known as KIC 5623923. As a result, they found that the investigated system is a faint eclipsing binary ...
Webb's mid-infrared image shows four coiled shells of dust around a pair of Wolf-Rayet stars known as Apep for the first time (NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; Science: Yinuo Han (Caltech), Ryan White ...
Through international collaboration, a team of astronomers has confirmed two exoplanets and found hints of a third exoplanet at a binary star system known as TOI-2267. The planets were first found by ...
How many Earth-sized exoplanets orbit binary star systems (two-star systems)? This is what a recent study accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...
Artist’s impression of the powerful winds blowing from the bright X-ray source GX13+1. The X-rays are coming from a disc of hot matter, known as an accretion disc, that is gradually spiralling down to ...
