Is it a two-for-sun deal. Astronomers were blown away after discovering a bizarre exoplanet that orbits twin stars closer than any ever seen before in a binary star system, per a starry study ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An artistic rendering of the newly discovered binary star system in the moment where the first white dwarf has just exploded, ...

A new grant will help researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf learn more about “one of the most challenging phases in stellar astrophysics,” ...

Alexander Venner picked his way by hand through the data collected by a now-retired NASA telescope called Kepler, which ...

Astronomers may have discovered a rare type of binary star system, where one star used to orbit inside its partner. In the new study, astronomers investigated a pulsar known as PSR J1928+1815 located ...

Ferris State University student researcher Francisco Vasquez worked with his professor, Dr. Dinesh Shetty, to create new orbital models for binary star systems, four of which have been adopted by the ...

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.

Using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Chinese astronomers have observed a gamma-ray binary system known as PSR ...

Apples-to-apples comparisons in the distant universe are hard to come by. Whether the subject is dwarf galaxies, supermassive black holes, or “hot Jupiters,” astronomers can spend months or years ...

Artist's impression of a red dwarf (left) and a white dwarf (center) orbiting each other. The stars’ orbit is so tight that their magnetic fields interact, causing pulses of radio emission every two ...

Some stars in our galaxy, known as hypervelocity stars, move much faster than most other stars in the Milky Way. In fact, they are traveling so fast that our galaxy's gravity can't hold onto them and ...
