About 8,150 light-years from Earth, a white dwarf star named Gaia22ayj has intrigued astronomers. Its unusual behavior, ...

Astronomers have discovered the "missing link" connecting the death of sunlike stars to the birth of white dwarf stellar remnants, in the form of a "teenage vampire" white dwarf.

The hunt for habitable planets beyond the Solar System just became more difficult. A study posted today on the arXiv server suggests that the same factors that make planets near M-dwarf stars easy ...

Solar flares can reshape exoplanet atmospheres within days, affecting temperature, winds, and potential habitability.

A new article describes the detrimental impact of stellar wind on the atmosphere of exoplanets.

Chilean researcher Bárbara Rojas-Ayala found a way to measure the "metallicity" of M dwarf (red dwarf) stars which in turn could help science to better understand how planets, stars and galaxies ...

M.V. Magnier bought the multiple grade 1 winner and 2015 champion 3-year-old filly by Curlin, who won 10 of 16 starts and banked $2,253,200. Magnier said Stellar Wind will be bred to Triple Crown ...

A celestial object discovered decades ago is actually twins orbiting each other, a new study confirms. Scientists have puzzled over the object known as Gliese 229B, the first known brown dwarf ...

Typically, this rapid stream of particles astronomers call stellar wind should blow off from the white dwarf as a by-product of the star’s fast spinning right after the supernova explosion.

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new giant exoplanet around an M-dwarf star (GEMS). The newfound GEMS, designated TOI-5573 b, is comparable in size to Saturn and its ...
