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!
Astronomers will literally see a very young star running away from its peers and call it a RATT.
Today’s paper takes a look at circumstellar disks’ chemistries, and addresses how their chemical composition can be impacted by their host stars.
Ever wondered what science gets done at the South Pole? It turns out that many astrophysics and cosmology experiments end up there!
What can local metal-poor stars teach us about the earliest stars in the universe?
Today’s authors try to use the behavior of ants to model streams of stars in our galaxy!
