New ALMA and JWST observations reveal why Wolf–Rayet star WR 112 produces tiny dust grains, showing a bimodal grain ...

Astronomers have reported observations of a rare star system consisting of one star orbiting a system of three more tightly ...

The discovery of the fourth star was done through an algorithm called QUADCOR, which isolates the distinct spectral fingerprints of all four stars simultaneously. By detecting the individual signals, ...

The birth of massive stars involves gravity, turbulence, and stellar feedback, all of which influence the flow of matter. Find out more here: ...

The binary star system ν Octantis has long been considered hostile to planet formation. The discovery of a white dwarf in the system offers an alternative view. However, Cheng and colleagues observe ...

The four-star system features three stars in stable orbits, plus a fourth at a distance equal to Jupiter's orbit around our Sun.

Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion, formed via common envelope evolution. Although such systems ...

An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how planets form. Across our galaxy, astronomers routinely observe a ...

Two of the objects in the arrangement are cold brown dwarfs, which will serve as a benchmark for others throughout the Milky Way. By Katrina Miller Zenghua Zhang, an astronomer at Nanjing University ...

Observations of the young HOPS-315 star system show an environment analogous to what our own nascent Solar System would have looked like billions of years ago. The star is surrounded by a ...

Astronomers studying a rare visitor from another star system have discovered something unexpected. The interstellar comet known as 3I/ATLAS appears to contain unusually large amounts of alcohol. While ...

This is HOPS-315, a baby star where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. The image was taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). In ...
