Astronomers have observed primordial material that may be giving birth to three planetary systems around a binary star in unprecedented detail. Bringing together three decades of study, an ...

Astronomers have developed the most realistic model to date of planet formation in binary star systems. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and the Max Planck Institute for ...

Stars are the fundamental building blocks of our universe. Most stars host planets, like our sun hosts our solar system, and if you look more broadly, groups of stars make up huge structures such as ...

Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion, formed via common envelope evolution. Although such systems ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer simulations show that magnetic fields surrounding newborn stars can act ...

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 ...

Measuring binary star systems' basic properties has proved exceedingly difficult. This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Space.com's ...
