A mysterious bow shock around the white dwarf RXJ0528+2838 is challenging astronomers’ understanding of how dead stars ...

Brown dwarfs get a bad rap in the stellar world, often labeled as "failed stars" for their inability to sustain nuclear fusion at their cores. The mass of these objects falls between planets and stars ...

Using the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP), astronomers have discovered a new long-period radio transient source, which ...

The radio source belongs to a new class of celestial entities, called long-period radio transients.

Astronomers using the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) have detected a long-period radio transient with a period of 36 minutes, a finding that could reshape our understanding of stellar systems. The ...

Billions of light years away in a remote part of the universe, two neutron stars – the ultradense remnants of dead stars – collided. The catastropic cosmic event sent light and particles, including a ...

In Amiri’s calculations, Dyson spheres around white dwarfs tend to produce cooler, fainter thermal emission that peaks in the near- to mid-infrared, while M-dwarf cases can radiate more strongly but ...

Astronomers have discovered a rare four-star star system in which one star orbits three others that are interconnected. A new study shows that this is the most compact known system of its type: all ...

CWISE J1249+36, a low-mass runaway star, is traveling at an extraordinary speed that could propel it out of the Milky Way.

This month’s batch of promising mobile titles includes a new The Witcher game, a port of the Tomb Raider reboot, and chess with a shotgun.

Astronomers reportedly reacted with half scientific curiosity and half disbelief when they first saw it in the telescope data ...
