Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of three Earth-sized planets orbiting within a compact binary star system. This rare configuration, where planets circle two stars simultaneously, ...

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 ...

Using NASA's Kepler space telescope, Chinese astronomers have observed a binary star system known as KIC 5623923. As a result, they found that the investigated system is a faint eclipsing binary ...

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 ...

An international team of researchers has just revealed the existence of three Earth-sized planets in the binary stellar system TOI-2267 located about 190 light-years away. This discovery, published in ...

White dwarf stars represent the evolutionary endpoints of medium- and low-mass stars, comprising the dense, electron-degenerate cores left after nuclear fuel exhaustion. In binary systems, ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is associated with wanton destruction, but a recent discovery throws that assumption into question. A team of international ...

Through international collaboration, a team of astronomers has confirmed two exoplanets and found hints of a third exoplanet at a binary star system known as TOI-2267. The planets were first found by ...

The binary star system ν Octantis has long been considered hostile to planet formation. The discovery of a white dwarf in the system offers an alternative view. However, Cheng and colleagues observe ...
