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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
