It takes a supercomputer weeks to output the properties of one stellar binary. A new study shows AI can do it in a fraction ...

One example of this is when there is a binary star system that is orbited by a large planet that travels along a polar path of the two stars. So, instead of revolving in the same direction as the ...

Astronomers may have discovered a rare type of binary star system, where one star used to orbit inside its partner. In the new study, astronomers investigated a pulsar known as PSR J1928+1815 ...

Binary star systems, or pairs of stars that orbit around each other, are very common. In fact, it’s estimated that 85% of stars in the universe have at least one companion. But this newly ...

This unusual system 'shouldn't exist,' says one astronomer, who notes the orbit is as long as his daily commute. By Briley Lewis Published Aug 8, 2023 6:00 AM EDT Get the Popular Science daily ...

Astronomers have detected rare radio waves from a binary star system, challenging previous ideas about their origins. These pulses, lasting from milliseconds to minutes, arrive every 125.5 minutes.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) V455 Car is a semi-detached Algol-type eclipsing binary with a 5.133-day period, consisting of a 5.3 M ☉ primary and a 1.58 M ☉ secondary. The system shows a ...

The researchers are already excited to get a closer glimpse of a similar binary star system, such as HD 59686, which also hosts an enormous gas giant with six times the mass of Jupiter.

The Blaze Star is a rare example of a recurrent nova, which means "new star" in Latin. It's a binary star system with a cool, red giant star and a smaller, hotter white dwarf star orbiting each other.

For example, the AR Scorpii system features a white dwarf that repeatedly bombards its companion star with beams of radiation on a set interval. This causes the system to become brighter in the ...
