Stars of all masses can have their outer layers stripped away during interactions with a binary companion. Today’s paper reports the first-ever discovery of intermediate-mass stripped stars, which are thought to be the main progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae!
This article reveals how the magnetic field, surpassing internal forces like gravity and turbulence, prevents star formation in the Horsehead nebula. This discovery highlights the crucial role magnetic fields play in shaping stellar nurseries, paving the way for further investigations into the intricate interplay between magnetic forces and star formation.
Astronomers will literally see a very young star running away from its peers and call it a RATT.
Today’s paper looks at the impact of AGN feedback on X-ray emission around an unprecedented sample of galaxy groups!
Ever wondered what science gets done at the South Pole? It turns out that many astrophysics and cosmology experiments end up there!
Do galaxies turn into raisins when they sit in the bath too long? Today’s authors investigate what their bath is like!
