One of the best places to study stars is inside “open clusters”, which are groups of stars that formed together from the same material and are bound together through gravity. Open clusters act as ...

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 ...

New research explains how dust links the formation, evolution, and fate of stars and planets, and why future telescopes are needed to observe these processes in detail ...

Astronomers have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars -- 'dead' remnants and 'living' stars -- in young star clusters. This breakthrough offers new insights on an extreme ...

In an unprecedented discovery, astronomers have observed a new type of supernova that seems to defy the very principles of stellar evolution that have been held for decades. The supernova, named ...

Massive stars, with their intense luminosities and rapid evolutionary cycles, present an intriguing laboratory for studying the role of magnetic fields in stellar dynamics. These stars often exhibit ...
