A new study by a team of international astronomers has provided the first direct evidence that supermassive black holes affect star formation in their galaxies.
GJ436, a red dwarf located about 33 light-years from Earth has a planet that behaves very much like a comet. And according to a recent study this planet also has a very peculiar orbit.
While examining a previously-discovered exoplanet, an international team of astronomers discovered a second Super-Earth around the star.
ALMA has revealed signs of eleven low-mass stars forming perilously close — within three light-years — to the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, known to astronomers as Sagittarius A*.
A team working with HARPS in Chile has found that the red dwarf star Ross 128 is orbited by a low-mass exoplanet every 9.9 days. The exoplanet is expected to be with a surface temperature close to that of Earth.
An international team of researchers have found an infrequent variation in the brightness of a forming star. Its repeated behavior suggests the presence of a hidden planet.
Astronomers have made a bizarre discovery; a star that refuses to stop shining.
A Canadian-led international team of astronomers recently discovered that spots on the surface of a supergiant star are driving huge spiral structures in its stellar wind.
For the first time, gravitational waves have been detected coming from the violent collision of two neutron star potentially solving the mystery of where heavy elements like gold come from as well as producing a visible afterglow detected by over 70 telescopes around the world.
The sun is nearing a low-activity point of its solar cycle, but researchers at NASA are detecting large solar flares leaving the celestial body.
A new research study by a group of astronomers, based on observation using the VLTI, has created the most detailed map of a star other than the Sun.
Scientists appear to have found the first X-rays coming from type Ia supernovae.
A team of scientists used 20 years of data from several telescopes to watch how three stars orbited the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy, Sagittarius A*. They’ve created a general relativity theory test.
The researchers have produced an intricate 3D rendering of newly formed molecules inside the supernova remnant using ALMA telescope.
Astronomers at the University of Cambridge have discovered a star that’s barely bigger than Saturn, making it the smallest stellar object known to science.
