New theoretical models, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, connect, for the first time, the magnetism at the surface of long-dead stellar remnants (white dwarfs) with recent evidence of magnetism ...

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 ...

Nuclear astrophysics plays a pivotal role in informing our understanding of stellar evolution by investigating the nuclear reactions within stars that dictate their birth, evolution, and ultimate fate ...

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 ...

Astronomers have uncovered dozens of faint star ribbons in the Milky Way's outskirts, potentially revealing new insights into ...

Recent scientific analysis of dead stars’ remnants has offered a chilling glimpse into the Sun’s future demise, shedding light on the fate of planetary systems when stars like our own reach the end of ...

Stars often end their lives with a dazzling explosion, creating and releasing material into the universe. This will then seed new life, leading to a cosmic cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

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 ...
