We can learn a lot about colliding neutron stars from their gravitational waves, but can we also find out how circular their orbits were before they collided? Find the answer, and what it means for future binary neutron star merger detections with today’s paper.
Meet our neighbor, the closest known extremely low-mass white dwarf.
We see that many stars have a buddy star or two i.e. they are a binary or multi-star system. This paper addresses the question: How in the heck does that happen?
Exoplanets have been the proverbial apples of astronomers’ eyes for some time now. But what about planets that orbit not one star, but two? Read today’s astrobite to learn more about where and how such planets form!
How did Lindsay Lohan and Arnold Schwarzenegger find their way into a bite about binary stars? Read on to find out.
