Astronomers believe they have spotted an elusive intermediate-mass black hole shredding a distant star, and they have ...

They have a few potential hypotheses to explain why J0524-0336 is so unusual. One possibility is that the star may be in a stage of stellar evolution that has never been observed before ...

Astro­physics: Star-child­hood shapes stel­lar evo­lu­tion Date: September 19, 2022 Source: University of Innsbruck Summary: In classical models of stellar evolution, so far little importance ...

The Hubble Space Telescope searches the universe to understand how planets, stars, and galaxies form. Recently, it captured this image of a nebula known as GN 04.32.8 within a larger stellar ...

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 ...

The nebula’s bipolar structure and associated outflow patterns provide a direct observational window into the complex dynamics of stellar merging and remnant evolution [3].
