Study of ‘polluted’ white dwarfs finds that stars and planets grow together

Astronomers have discovered evidence that planetary formation can begin very quickly after the birth of a star. This incredible insight into the histories of...

Mapping the movement of white dwarfs of the Milky Way

White dwarfs were once normal stars similar to the sun. Then they collapsed after exhausting all their fuel. These interstellar remnants have historically been...

Exploring the formation of ultra-massive carbon-oxygen white dwarfs

White dwarf stars (WDs) make up the majority of the stellar graveyard. It is widely assumed that WDs will evolve from more than 97...

Researchers explore open cluster NGC 2506 with AstroSat

Indian astronomers investigated an open cluster known as NGC 2506 using the AstroSat spacecraft. The study identified over 2,000 member stars of this cluster...

Astronomers study highly variable polar V496 Uma

German astronomers examined V496 UMa, a highly variable polar, using data from ESA's XMM-Newton spacecraft and NASA's TESS telescope. The study's findings, which were...

Researchers explain formation of millisecond pulsars with long orbital periods

Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers have explained the formation of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) with long orbital periods by accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs. The study...

Astronomers discover a new type of star covered in helium burning ashes

German astronomers have discovered a strange new type of star covered in the by-product of helium burning. The stars might have been formed by...
