Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

BEFORE the advent of the accretion theory of stellar evolution, physical theory had progressed sufficiently to suggest the transmutation of hydrogen as providing practically all the stellar energy ...

Research team makes significant strides in explaining the stellar evolution of massive binary stars by ASIAA Science Highlights The artist's illustration of an interacting binary star.

A new study published in Nature Communications is shedding new light on the theory of stellar evolution. Astronomers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that the way a star forms has an impact ...

A newly discovered nearby supernova whose star ejected up to a full solar mass of material in the year prior to its explosion is challenging the standard theory of stellar evolution. The new ...

Life on Earth could not exist without carbon. But carbon itself could not exist without stars. Nearly all elements except ...

Rethinking galactic origins through heavy-element mapping challenges conventional theory Peer-Reviewed Publication Nagoya University ...

Citizen scientists spotted an object zipping through the Milky Way at more than 1 million miles an hour, and a new study shows it could be a rare hypervelocity star.

Which stars form which elements, and how those elements form, is what stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis aims to understand. Stellar evolution looks at how stars change their structure and ...

The red supergiant Betelgeuse, a colossal star in the Orion constellation, experienced a massive stellar eruption in 2019, the likes of which have never been seen, according to astronomers. The ...

When British naturalist Charles Darwin sketched out his theory of evolution in the 1859 book "On the Origin of Species" - proposing that biological species change over time through the acquisition ...
