Observations of nearby red dwarf stars reveal rare carbon and oxygen isotopes, offering direct evidence of stellar nucleosynthesis and the chemical evolution of the Milky Way.

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 ...

How do stars form and evolve inside globular clusters? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers conducted a ...

To understand how the universe was formed and how we got here, ancient stars are some of the best objects to study — yet astronomers know surprisingly little about the conditions in which they were ...

An international team of researchers has performed a mind-bending simulation of the Milky Way. For the first time, the team successfully performed a simulation of over 100 billion individual stars, ...

For the first time, the famous “spirograph” Planetary Nebula IC418’s non-explosive stellar evolution has been captured over an unprecedented period of 130 years—almost double the length of a typical ...

The discovery could lead to the finding of more planets. Astrophysicists are marveling at the latest celestial discovery made near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole. Scientists have uncovered ...
