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 ...

Astronomers have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars -- 'dead' remnants and 'living' stars -- in young star clusters. This breakthrough offers new insights on an extreme ...

Supercomputer simulations identify stellar rotation as the mechanism driving chemical mixing in red giants, explaining long-observed surface composition changes during stellar evolution.

Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have captured an unprecedented image of a stellar bubble surrounding a young star,HD 61005, providing crucial insights into how our Sun’s astrosphere ...

Stellar evolution as a research area investigates the physical processes governing the formation, structural changes, and end states of stars across cosmic time, using stellar structure theory, ...

CC0 Usage Conditions ApplyClick for more information. This presentation focuses on understanding the process of stellar evolution by using a series of materials, resources and investigations ...

Stellar transients and mergers represent a dynamic, multifaceted area of astrophysical research in which binary or multiple star systems undergo rapid, transformative events. These phenomena, which ...

This image from the ALMA telescope shows star system HD101584 and the complex gas clouds surrounding the binary. It is the result of a pair of stars sharing a common outer layer during their last ...

A study of more than 26,000 white dwarf stars has confirmed a long-predicted but elusive effect in these ultra-dense, dying stars: Hotter white dwarfs are slightly puffier than cooler ones, even when ...
