The formation and evolution of individual stars in a galaxy shape the evolution of the galaxy itself. Stars and stellar ...

When massive stars die, they explode, leaving behind supernova remnants. Given how common binary star systems are - more than ...

The Jellyfish Nebula, one of the best-studied supernova remnants in our galaxy, may have been hiding a sibling this whole ...

Scientists have found the first evidence of a binary star system where both massive stars exploded as supernovae, leaving ...

In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly magnetized rapidly rotating, light-emitting neutron star) and a so-called ...

For the first time, astronomers have spotted a rapidly spinning neutron star that is gravitationally bound to a helium star companion. The discovery of this unusual binary system helps confirm a long ...

An international team of researchers led by PD Dr Florian Peißker has found the first binary star in the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* (Sagittarius A star) at the centre of ...

The LHAASO observatory has detected gamma rays above 100 TeV from a gamma-ray binary for the first time, challenging current models of cosmic particle acceleration. (Nanowerk News) The Large High ...

Gamma-ray binaries are interacting stellar pairs in which a compact object—usually a neutron star or black hole—orbits a massive companion, generating high-energy photons through particle acceleration ...

Astronomers have detected a binary star system orbiting Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole. Credit: ESO / S. Guisard Just on the outskirts of a supermassive black hole ...
