Astrophysicist Tomoaki Matsumoto and collaborators have used three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic supercomputer simulations ...

Simulations show magnetic fields can remove angular momentum from forming protostars, helping binary star systems form within realistic timescales.

Volume rendering of density in a simulation of a binary neutron star merger. New research shows that neutrinos created in the hot interface between the merging stars can be briefly trapped and remain ...

Magnetic fields may be the hidden force bringing both newborn stars and giant black holes together. New computer simulations ...

NAOJ ATERUI III simulations show magnetic fields strip angular momentum from forming protostar pairs at up to 0.7 percent per ...

University of Warwick astronomers have discovered an extremely rare, high-mass, compact binary star system only ~150 light years away. These two stars are on a collision course to explode as a type 1a ...

Wide binary stars with separation greater than about 2000 astronomical units are interesting natural laboratories that allow a direct probe of gravity at low acceleration weaker than about 1 nanometer ...

In theory, it could happen – one of the very first solutions to the three-body problem was this scenario. But it is very unlikely to be stable over time. You need the stars to have near equal mass and ...

Astronomers have confirmed a giant planet orbiting a tightly bound pair of young stars, marking a first in direct exoplanet imaging. The planet, known as HD 143811 AB b, is the closest-in world ever ...
