Astronomers in China have observed a pulsar that becomes partially eclipsed by an orbiting companion star every few hours.

Astrophysicists at UC Santa Barbara are the first scientists to identify two white dwarf stars in an eclipsing binary system, allowing for the first ... a theory about a certain type of white dwarf ...

They detected NGTS-EB-7 AB—a low-mass eclipsing binary (LMEB ... by approximately 0.66 AU. The system has an orbital period of 193.36 days. The primary star NGTS-EB-7 A is about 45% larger ...

is also a eclipsing binary, as ... More illustrated here. Three such pairs make up a newly discovered sextuple star system called TYC 7037-89-1. Our Solar System is a normal, regular kind of star ...

"Sextuply-eclipsing sextuple star system" is astronomer-speak for ... was identified as a binary system in 1719 by the English clergyman and astronomer James Pound. Just 51 light-years from ...

In 2018, astronomers discovered a pair of brown dwarf stars orbiting each other in a rare system known as an eclipsing binary ... orbiting its host star at an angle of 90 degrees—called a ...

Eclipsing binaries can also fit into the two previously mentioned categories and are often so close together that they exchange material. A companion star in a binary system can have an effect on ...

The star is part of what scientists call a binary system. Binary system's have particularly long orbital periods, meaning it is rare to catch one companion in the system eclipsing another.

Scientists have uncovered the existence of a binary star system close to the black hole near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, confirming a hypothesis made by happenstance nearly a century ago ...

They used their faint signal of a foreign world to develop what they deem the first ever blueprint of a complete, 3D structure of not just a binary star system orbit, but one with a planet roaming ...
