Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer ...

NAOJ ATERUI III simulations show magnetic fields strip angular momentum from forming protostar pairs at up to 0.7 percent per ...

New simulations show that interactions with a magnetic field can work to decrease the distance between still forming binary ...

Stars are the fundamental building blocks of our universe. Most stars host planets, like our sun hosts our solar system, and if you look more broadly, groups of stars make up huge structures such as ...

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 ...

In theory, it could happen – one of the very first solutions to the three-body problem was this scenario. But it is very unlikely to be stable over time. You need the stars to have near equal mass and ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth. Subscribe to ...

The binary star system is expected to "go Nova" within the next few weeks or months - creating a once-in-a-lifetime stellar event. NASA Animation. Rob Landers More Videos Blue Origin's lander could ...
