The magnetism of stars seems to leave traces long after their death. Scientists have discovered what they call a "fossil ...

For the first time, new theoretical models, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, connect the magnetism at the surface of long-dead stellar remnants (white dwarfs) with recent evidence of magnetism ...

From the brightness variations of its host star, an exoplanet’s size and other properties can be determined. In order to avoid mistakes, the star’s magnetic field is decisive 700 light years away from ...

When you look up at the sky on a sunny day, the sun might seem like a bright spot, unchanging in the sky. But the sun is a ...

Gas-giant planets orbiting close to other stars have powerful magnetic fields, many times stronger than our own Jupiter, according to a new study by a team of astrophysicists. It is the first time the ...

Astronomers are investigating clues from a cosmic crime scene in which a massive star died and left behind an extremely magnetic "dead" star called a magnetar. To probe this mystery, a team of ...
