Neutron stars represent one of the final evolutionary stages of a massive star, forming when stars with at least eight times ...

We find that a circular binary system with a misaligned circumbinary disk normally produces a double-peaked mass-accretion-rate variation per binary orbit. This is because each black hole passes ...

To do this, the module provides solvers for the orbits of the projectile in a restricted case: The projectile mass is assumed negligible, so that the binary executes a Keplerian orbit. Binary orbit is ...

Gliese 229 B, discovered in 1995, is a binary system of two brown dwarfs orbiting each other, in orbit around their parent red dwarf star.

The revelation means that Gliese 229B is a "first-of-its-kind" tight brown dwarf binary, increasing the hope other such exotic systems dwell in the Milky Way just waiting to be discovered.

Astronomers have stumbled upon something truly remarkable: a black hole that's not just part of a binary system, but part of ...

In the binary system 4U 1820-30, a neutron star is spinning so fast around its center axis that it completes a breathtaking ...

The Veilguard is getting hate for its same-sex relationships and trans storylines, but this is the natural evolution of a ...

Named after the Latin word for 'wood', the LignoSat satellite developed by Kyoto University and homebuilder Sumitomo Forestry ...

that circle one another every 12 days as they orbit their sun every few hundred years. We sought to test whether Gliese 229 B is a brown dwarf binary. To evade astronomers’ notice for 30 years ...
