"This discovery heralds a broader understanding of the diversity in massive stars' deaths and a need for deeper investigations into the whole landscape of stellar evolution." ...

New research suggests sub-stellar objects called dark dwarfs could glow forever on dark matter energy. Could they reveal secrets about the universe’s hidden mass?

A new study of a star undergoing the throes of a supernova death has revealed that bursts of X-radiation known as fast-X-ray ...

Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

The Hubble Space Telescope searches the universe to understand how planets, stars, and galaxies form. Recently, it captured ...

Using a combination of telescopes, astronomers have characterized the closest supernova linked to a fast X-ray transient. The ...

Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made significant ...

These enigmatic objects, observed in the open cluster M67, challenge our knowledge of stellar evolution and provide fresh insights into the dynamics of multiple star systems.

Astronomers have taken the first ever image that shows what happens when a star explodes twice in a supernova.

In classical models of stellar evolution, so far little importance has been attached to the early evolution of stars. Scientists now show that the biography of stars is indeed shaped by their ...

The model is based on the open-source stellar evolution software MESA (Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics). The team spent months refining the model to use it to recreate the chaotic ...
