Lead author Neha Sharma emphasized the study’s significance, noting that “by studying their flickers, we can uncover how stars grow, feed, and shed their dusty wombs.” ...

The evolution of stars and their interactions with compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, remain pivotal in our understanding of the cosmos. Stellar evolution describes the life ...

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 ...

XRISM observations of Cassiopeia A reveal abundant chlorine and potassium, showing supernovae can forge these life-linked ...

Astronomers have discovered a new type of binary star, that was missing for decades, which represents a "missing link" in the evolution of so-called extremely low mass (ELM) white dwarfs. When 97 ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Astronomers have found evidence that some stars boast unexpectedly strong surface magnetic fields, a discovery that challenges current models of how they evolve. In stars like our sun ...

From babies to teenagers: stars in their "young years" are a major challenge for science. The process of star formation is particularly complex and difficult to map in theoretical models. One of the ...

We have more Betelbuddy news, and the little companion star to Betelgeuse is turning out to be an oddball. Astronomers didn't think these kinds of stars still existed—until now. Astronomers have ...

Stars are born from cold clouds of dust and gas that collapse under the force of gravity. How a star goes through life depends on its initial mass. Mass is how much matter a star has which is often ...

A white dwarf. Researchers have discovered a new star type, believed to be the result of the merging of two white dwarfs. Klaus Werner, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of ...

In classical models of stellar evolution, so far little importance has been attached to the early evolution of stars. Scientists now show that the biography of stars is indeed shaped by their early ...
