How many Earth-sized exoplanets orbit binary star systems (two-star systems)? This is what a recent study accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...
Astronomers recently released a new image of the binary star system Eta Carinae's full spectrum, taken from deep in Chile's Atacama Desert. The image was captured with the newly installed SOAR ...
"Our study provides a new direction to understand the whole evolutionary history of massive stars toward the formation of ...
Scientists have identified three Earth-sized planets orbiting two stars in the TOI-2267 system. Remarkably, planets transit around both stars — a first in astronomy. The system’s compact, cold nature ...
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of three Earth-sized planets orbiting within a compact binary star system. This rare configuration, where planets circle two stars simultaneously, ...
The Kuiper Belt object Altjira was thought to be a binary, but closer analysis suggests that it is highly likely to be a triple system This raises the question of the three-body problem; if Altjira ...
Researchers from the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the Institute of Space Studies ...
New research suggests that a binary pair of Kuiper Belt objects, known as the Altjira system, is actually made up of three separate bodies orbiting one another in a complex triad. This rare orbital ...
New Hubble observations explain how blue straggler stars form, showing that binary systems in low-density clusters play a key role ...
A nearby white dwarf is carving a colourful shockwave through space, puzzling astronomers and raising new questions about how ...
