Jets emerge from the cocoon of the multi-star system FS Tau in the new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
This Hubble image shows FS Tau,...
In a new study, astronomers from Yale University and MIT examined the joint spin-orbit and orbit-orbit distribution for exoplanets residing in binary and...
Removing the hydrogen-rich layers from a main sequence star exposes the helium-rich core. Such stripped helium stars are known at high and low masses,...
Mothra is a system of two supergiant stars in one of the extremely magnified galaxies behind the lensing galaxy cluster MACS J0416.1-2403.
Mothra is best...
Be-type stars make up almost 20% of the B star population, and are rapidly rotating stars surrounded by a disk. Although these stars have been known for...
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers are tracking the expansion of the X-ray nebula around Eta Carinae, a luminous binary system...
HIP 81208 is the first binary stellar system with substellar companions around each stellar component ever found by direct imaging.
Astronomers thought...
The millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038 is known to switch between two brightness modes almost constantly, something that until now has been an enigma.
This...
Using spectropolarimetric data gathered by various telescopes around the globe, astronomers from the University of Amsterdam and elsewhere have identified...
WD 0032-317B, a brown dwarf orbiting around the hot, low-mass white dwarf WD 0032-317, is estimated to have a surface temperature of about 8,000 K and...
Earendel, the farthest known star, is a massive B-type star more than twice as hot as our Sun, and about a million times more luminous, according to an...
The giant planet 8 Ursae Minoris b (also known as Halla) orbits the core-helium-burning red giant star 8 Ursae Minoris (Baekdu). At a distance of only...
White dwarf pulsars include a rapidly spinning, burnt-out stellar remnant called a white dwarf, which lashes a companion red dwarf with powerful beams...
Circumbinary planetary systems contain planets that orbit around two stars in the center instead of just one, like in our Solar System.

The detection of the Type Ia supernova SN 2020eyj at radio wavelengths show that the exploded white dwarf had a helium-rich companion.
An artist’s rendition...
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief flashes of radio waves from distant galaxies that are probably emitted by neutron stars. Some FRBs repeat, which enables...
V1355 Orionis (also known as HD 291095) is an RS CVn-type binary star system located 400 light-years away in the constellation of Orion.
An artist’s...
SSN 7 is a so-called contact binary located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy some 210,000 light-years away in the constellation of Tucana....
Hercules X-1 is an X-ray binary system in which a neutron star is drawing material away from a Sun-like star. This neutron star’s accretion disk is unique...
