Stars and planets are inextricably linked. They form together and stars shape the fate of planets. Stars create the dusty ...

New research explains how dust links the formation, evolution, and fate of stars and planets, and why future telescopes are needed to observe these processes in detail ...

Nuclear astrophysics plays a pivotal role in informing our understanding of stellar evolution by investigating the nuclear reactions within stars that dictate their birth, evolution, and ultimate fate ...

The evolution of stars and their interactions with compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, remain pivotal in our understanding of the cosmos. Stellar evolution describes the life ...

One of the best places to study stars is inside “open clusters”, which are groups of stars that formed together from the same material and are bound together through gravity. Open clusters act as ...

Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess only a single evolutionary pathway; instead, depending on the nature of its ...

One of the main questions in exoplanet science concerns M dwarfs (red dwarfs) and the habitability of exoplanets that orbit ...

Astronomers studying long-term sky surveys have identified hundreds of stars that appear to have vanished. The disappearances ...

NASA’s Chandra Observatory reveals a 25-year time-lapse of Kepler’s Supernova Remnant. Glowing debris expands at different ...

Researchers have found that stars in the early universe may have formed from 'fluffy' molecular clouds. Using the ALMA telescope to observe the Small Magellanic Cloud -- whose environment is similar ...

As part of the Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics (Astro2020), the Panel on Stars, the Sun, and Stellar Populations will identify and articulate the scientific themes that will define the ...

Stars don't just shine — they hum with hidden vibrations. Like earthquakes, ripples of gas on a star's surface — referred to as stellar quakes — offer clues about what lies beneath. And now, ...
