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 ...

What can binary stars comprised of two different types of stars teach astronomers about stellar evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as a team ...

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 ...

New research explains how dust links the formation, evolution, and fate of stars and planets, and why future telescopes are needed to observe these processes in detail ...

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 ...
