What can binary stars comprised of two different types of stars teach astronomers about stellar evolution? This is what a ...

This significant finding, published in The Astrophysical Journal, opens a new window into an extreme phase of stellar ...

This artist's impression shows an eclipsing binary star system. As the two stars orbit each other they pass in front of one another and their combined brightness, seen from a distance, decreases.

ULTRACAM has been used to study white dwarfs, brown dwarfs, red dwarfs, pulsars, black-hole/neutron-star X-ray binaries, gamma-ray bursts, cataclysmic variables, eclipsing binary stars, extrasolar ...

"Since about half the stars in our galaxy are in binary systems where life might develop too, we introduce a model of a binary stellar engine," Vidal writes. "We apply the model to candidate ...

Algol-type binaries are a class of eclipsing binary stars related to the prototype member of this class, known as Beta Persei or Algol. They are semi-detached systems whose less-massive component ...
