A team of astronomers led by Prof. HAN Zhanwen from the Yunnan Observatories (YAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Chris Wolf from Australian National University has jointly discovered a ...

The observations reveal details of a mysterious stage in the life of binary stars when a mutual embrace comes to an end. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

(Edmonton) A University of Alberta professor has revealed the workings of a celestial event involving binary stars that results in an explosion so powerful it ranks close to Supernovae in luminosity.

Astronomers at the University of Toronto (U of T) have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars—"dead" remnants and "living" stars—in young star clusters. Described in a new ...

Astrophysicists are using new methods to simulate the common-envelope phase of binary stars, discovering dynamic irregularities that may help to explain how supernovae evolve. HITS astrophysicists use ...

When we look at the night sky, we see stars as tiny points of light eking out a solitary existence at immense distances from Earth. But appearances are deceptive. More than half the stars we know of ...

We study the formation of coalescing black-hole binaries using the StarTrack population synthesis code 16,17. This method has been updated to account for the formation of massive black-hole systems in ...
