Thanks to ESA satellites, an international team including UNIGE researchers has detected a giant eruption coming from a ...
Magnetars are among the universe's most extreme objects - a class of the compact stellar remnants called neutron stars that ...
Gamma rays are a broad category of high-energy photons, including everything with more energy than an X-ray. While they are ...
For the three stars with detected astrospheres, named 70 Ophiuchi, epsilon Eridani, and 61 Cygni, the researchers estimated their mass loss rates to be 66.5±11.1, 15.6±4.4, and 9.6±4.1 times ...
(Nanowerk News) It is estimated that up to 85% of stars exist in binary star systems, some even in systems with three or more stars. These stellar pairs are born together out of the same molecular ...
European astronomers have investigated a recently detected black hole designated Gaia BH3. In their results, they found that the black hole is associated with a nearby disrupted star cluster known ...
When astronomers examined a stellar pair at the heart of a stunning cloud of gas and dust, they were in for a surprise. Star pairs are usually very similar, like twins, but in the case of HD 148937, ...
