"This is an important step in our endeavor to understand the formation of the Milky Way and other galaxies." Scientists are building a better account of the lives of adolescent stars, starting ...

This model links supernova progenitors and binary evolution to observed mass constraints. Opacities are considered to be the source of the disagreement between theoretical solar models and ...

"J0524-0336 contains 100,000 times more lithium than the sun does at its current age. This amount challenges the prevailing models of how stars evolve." Astronomers have discovered a new star that ...

He added, "Over the last decade or so, astronomers have found that binarity is an incredibly important element in stellar evolution. We are now moving more towards the idea it is even more complex ...

Astro­physics: Star-child­hood shapes stel­lar evo­lu­tion Date: September 19, 2022 Source: University of Innsbruck Summary: In classical models of stellar evolution, so far little importance ...

Described in a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal, this breakthrough offers new insights into an extreme phase of stellar evolution, and one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics.

Black holes come in a range of sizes. Stellar mass black holes form from the collapse of massive stars, typically weighing between 5 and 100 times the mass of our sun, and are scattered throughout ...

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. To appreciate the ...
