Integral reveals new class of 'supergiant' X-ray binary stars
ESA's Integral gamma-ray observatory has discovered a new, highly populated class of X-ray fast 'transient' binary stars, undetected in previous observations. View More (2005-11-17)
Radio telescope images reveal planet-forming disk orbiting twin suns
Astronomers are announcing today that a sequence of images collected with the Smithsonian's Submillimeter Array (SMA) clearly reveals the presence of a rotating molecular disk orbiting the young binary star system V4046 Sagittarii. View More (2009-06-11)
Heavy Metal Stars: La Silla Telescope Detects Lots of Lead in Three Distant Binaries
Very high abundances of the heavy element Lead have been discovered in three distant stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. This finding strongly supports the long-held view that roughly half of the stable elements heavier than Iron are produced in common stars during a phase towards the end of their life when they burn their Helium - the other half results from supernova explosions. All the Lead... View More (2001-08-21)
In a star's final days, astronomers hunt 'signal of impending doom'
An otherwise nondescript binary star system in the Whirlpool Galaxy has brought astronomers tantalizingly close to their goal of observing a star just before it goes supernova. View More (2011-12-01)
Neutron stars join the black hole jet set
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed an X-ray jet blasting away from a neutron star in a binary system. View More (2007-06-28)
The missing link in the evolution of magnetic cataclysmic stars?
An international team of astronomers might have discovered the missing link in the evolution of the so-called magnetic cataclysmic variable stars. They determined the spin and orbital periods of the binary star Paloma. View More (2007-09-17)
Bizarre binary star system pushes study of relativity to new limits
An international team of astronomers and an exotic pair of binary stars have proved that Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is still right, even in the most extreme conditions tested yet. View More (2013-04-26)
Scientists find 'pinwheels' in Quintuplet cluster
Discovery of pinwheel-shaped dust spirals around two of the mysterious cocoon stars in the Quintuplet cluster tells scientists for the first time that they contain a duo of stars instead of just one. View More (2006-08-21)
UCSB scientist contributes to discovery of the fastest-rotating massive star ever recorded
An international team of scientists has found the fastest-rotating massive star ever recorded. View More (2011-12-06)
Pulsating star mystery solved
The new results, from a team led by Grzegorz Pietrzyński (Universidad de Concepción, Chile, Obserwatorium Astronomiczne Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, Poland), appear in the 25 November 2010 edition of the journal Nature. View More (2010-11-29)
NASA's Kepler mission and UF astronomer find 2 new planets orbiting double suns
Using data from NASA's Kepler mission, a team that includes a University of Florida astronomer has discovered two new planets orbiting double star systems, something that had never been seen until last September. View More (2012-01-12)
Star eats companion
ESA's Integral space observatory, together with NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer spacecraft, has found a fast-spinning pulsar in the process of devouring its companion. View More (2005-09-07)
Two Dying Stars Reborn as One
White dwarfs are dead stars that pack a Sun's-worth of matter into an Earth-sized ball. Astronomers have just discovered an amazing pair of white dwarfs whirling around each other once every 39 minutes. View More (2011-04-07)
Pulverized Planet Dust Might Lie Around Double Stars
Tight double-star systems might not be the best places for life to spring up, according to a new study using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. View More (2010-08-25)
Teen smokers influenced by movie star smokers
Teen smokers are influenced to take up the habit if their favourite movie stars are smokers, suggests research in Tobacco Control. Teenagers, aged 10 to 19, were surveyed about their smoking habits and their attitudes to smoking. These were scored on a five point scale. The teens were also asked to name their favourite movie star. Altogether, 632 students from five rural New England schools took... View More (2001-02-23)
X-ray Satellites Monitor the Clashing Winds of a Colossal Binary
The hottest and most massive stars don't live long enough to disperse throughout the galaxy. Instead, they can be found near the clouds of gas and dust where they formed -- and where they will explode as supernovae after a few million years. View More (2012-10-15)
Largest collection of anomalous white dwarfs observed in new Hubble images
Twenty-four unusual stars, 18 of them newly discovered, have been observed in new Hubble telescope images. The stars are white dwarfs, a common type of dead star, but they are odd because they are made of helium rather than the usual carbon and oxygen. This is the first extensive sequence of helium-core white dwarfs to be observed in a globular cluster, a dense swarm of some of the oldest stars... View More (2009-04-23)
Three satellites needed to bring out 'shy star'
An international team of scientists has uncovered a rare type of neutron star so elusive that it took three satellites to identify it View More (2005-07-14)
Feuding helium dwarfs exposed by eclipse
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found a unique feuding double white dwarf star system where each star appears to have been stripped down to just its helium. View More (2011-05-25)
Supernova progenitor found?
Type Ia supernovae are violent stellar explosions. Observations of their brightness are used to determine distances in the universe and have shown scientists that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. View More (2012-08-06)
