The structure of oscillations in intermediate mass stars has eluded astronomers, until now.
Read on to learn more about the discovery of the smallest star ever seen.
An exceptionally large heartbeat star, ι Orionis, has been found to have tidally excited pulsations.
For the first time, astronomers have announced a Thorne–Żytkow Object candidate- a bizarre system in which a neutron star is surrounded by an envelope of stellar material.
Astronomers like to find cool things. The first Earth-sized planet. The most distant galaxy yet. Two stars that merged while we watched. The coolness factor is certainly one reason why we keep at it – who wouldn’t want to be the first to find an Earth-sized planet, or the first human to see light from a galaxy that’s existed for billions of years? But there’s also a compelling scientific reason to search for these oddballs. This paper reports on the likely discovery of dust around a pair of binary stars.
