Stars of all masses can have their outer layers stripped away during interactions with a binary companion. Today’s bite reports the first-ever discovery of intermediate-mass stripped stars, which are thought to be the main progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae!
Today’s post by guest author Riley Owens discusses JWST observations of the star Earendel and whether it’s actually part of a binary system.
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover how Saurav Ruparelia studied stellar light curves to find extremely low-mass stellar remnants.
Free-floating planets are hard to explain. Can the messy evolution of tilted planetary systems around binary stars help?
In today’s paper, learn about the strange behavior of a variable star, and a possible explanation for its strange behavior: an invisible dancing partner!
