Astronomers led by the University of Warwick have identified the oldest star in our galaxy that is accreting debris from orbiting planetesimals, making it one of the oldest rocky and icy planetary systems discovered in the Milky Way.
Washington [US], September 25 (ANI): Using data from the Gaia space telescope, a team has shown that large parts of the Milky Way's outer disk vibrate. The ripples are caused by a dwarf galaxy, now seen in the constellation Sagittarius, that shook our galaxy as it passed by hundreds of millions of years ago.
Geneva [Switzerland], June 12 (ANI): Images of four new brown dwarfs were taken by an international research team from the University of Bern in Switzerland and a group from The Open University.
Geneva [Switzerland], June 10 (ANI): An international team led by researchers from the University of Bern in Switzerland and a group from The Open University have imaged four new brown dwarfs.
Tubingen [Germany], February 16 (ANI): The universe is vast and has a lot of mysteries hidden in it. Discoveries made by astronomers help us in understanding our universe a little better. Now, a team of German astronomers, led by Professor Klaus Werner of the University of Tubingen, have discovered a strange new type of star covered in the by-product of helium burning.
London [England], February 12 (ANI): White dwarfs are glowing embers of stars that have burned through all their hydrogen fuel. Nearly all stars, including the Sun, will eventually become white dwarfs, but very little is known about their planetary systems. A new study revealed the discovery of a ring of planetary debris studded with moon-sized structures has been observed orbiting close to a white dwarf star.
Canberra [Australia], January 12 (ANI): Two new recent papers have shed light on how the youngest generation of stars will eventually stop contributing metals back to the universe.
Astronomers from Harvard and the Smithsonian observed a new type of binary star that has been theorized to exist. Here’s all about a rare star that explains the missing links in the formation and evolution of the universe. A rare and theorized binary star is discovered This month’s issue of Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical […]
Scania [Sweden], August 27 (ANI): A research team at Lund University in Sweden has succeeded in following the development of a galaxy over a span of 13.8 billion years by using a supercomputer simulation.
