(Phys.org)—Astronomers from the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory in Armenia have discovered a strong outburst of the embedded young stellar object (YSO) designated UKIDSS-J185318.36+012454.5. This ...
New theoretical research outlines how this could happen and states that sub-stellar objects, basically brown dwarfs, could host the process. The research is titled "Dark dwarfs: dark matter -powered ...
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 ...
Astronomers have flagged a distant stellar object so extreme that, on paper, it should not exist. Its mass, brightness and apparent age collide with the limits of current models, forcing researchers ...
Astronomers have discovered a binary star system with the closest high-mass young stellar objects ever measured, providing a valuable “laboratory” to test theories on high mass binary star formation.
The universe isn’t built for comfort - but that won’t stop us from trying. From fiery giants to gravity wells that eat light, we’re ranking stellar objects by habitability. Spoiler: none are great, ...
