Scientists at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced the detection of J2322+0509, a detached binary white dwarf composed of two helium-core stars with a short orbital period. It is the ...

This paper is devoted to study the circumstances favourable to detect circumstellar and circumbinary planets in well detached binary-star-systems using eclipse timing variations (ETVs). We ...

The five-star system, named 1SWASP J093010.78+533859.5, is located just 250 light-years from Earth in the Ursa Major constellation. Pictured: Artist’s impression of the yellow hypergiant star HR 5171, ...

Scientists at the Open University, UK, have discovered a rare group of five gravitationally bound stars they say should “put the makers of Star Wars to shame.” Above: Two of the stars are a contact ...

Astronomers have found the very first quintuple star system consisting of two sets of eclipsing binary stars and one solo star. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as ...

Hot subdwarf stars represent a distinct class of compact, high-temperature objects that are predominantly core helium-burning and situated at the extreme end of the horizontal branch. These stars, ...
