Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In a binary star system, two stars orbit around each other. ESO/L. Calçada, CC BY Stars are the fundamental building blocks of our ...

Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion, formed via common envelope evolution. Although such systems ...

An international team led by researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil has developed an innovative method ...

For the first time, astronomers have spotted a rapidly spinning neutron star that is gravitationally bound to a helium star companion. The discovery of this unusual binary system helps confirm a long ...

Apples-to-apples comparisons in the distant universe are hard to come by. Whether the subject is dwarf galaxies, supermassive black holes, or “hot Jupiters,” astronomers can spend months or years ...
