Science An international team of researchers has detected a binary star orbiting near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black ...

We are informed in the introduction that “the object of this volume is to give a general account of our present knowledge of the binary stars, including such an exposition of the best observing ...

Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) were first theorized to exist in the late 1980s. In 2005, the first discoveries were confirmed.

Kepler is now beginning its second mission, K2, which is proving to again provide ultraprecise photometry for a large sample of eclipsing binary stars. In the 1951 light curves covering 12 days in the ...

Interacting binary stars are systems where two stars are in close proximity, allowing them to exchange mass and energy. This interaction often leads to the formation of accretion disks ...

Pairs circle around each other using different methods of travel to represent binary stars - a star system where both stars orbit around their common centre of mass. Then pairs and small groups ...

Staring up at the night sky, you might see thousands of stars sprinkled above the horizon. It feels as though you can see so ...

This double-flash Tidal Disruption Event (TDE) could result from the black hole catching binary stars, allowing one to escape and then devouring the other. If so, further observation of this event ...

Nucleosynthesis aims to understand how stellar conditions impact the formation of the various isotopes. It is common for stars to evolve in binary (or even multiple!) systems. The presence of a ...

Straight south in the early evening is the familiar constellation Orion. Above Orion, to the northeast, the constellation ...
