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 ...

Globular stellar systems are ancient, gravitationally bound assemblies of up to a million stars, typically orbiting in the halos of galaxies. Their long-term evolution is governed by internal ...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new pre-main-sequence eclipsing binary system. The newfound binary, designated MML 48, consists of two young low-mass stars. The finding ...

Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars represent a late evolutionary stage of low to intermediate-mass stars (approximately 0.8–8 M⊙). After exhausting hydrogen and helium in their cores, these stars ...

Astronomers have captured a breathtaking view of the Crystal Ball Nebula (NGC 1514), a cosmic spectacle 1,500 light-years ...

Could a decades-long debate about the mysterious movements of stars in Omega Centauri, the largest star cluster in the Milky Way, finally be resolved? Could a decades-long debate about the mysterious ...

Aging stars can completely destroy their planets. When a star reaches the end of its life on the main sequence, it goes through dramatic changes. And those changes don't just dictate the star's fate; ...

A mass migration of stellar twins. Stars similar to our Sun form a mass migration from the center of the Milky Way, occurring approximately 4 to 6 billion years ago. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers have ...

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 ...
