NAOJ ATERUI III simulations show magnetic fields strip angular momentum from forming protostar pairs at up to 0.7 percent per ...

New simulations show that interactions with a magnetic field can work to decrease the distance between still forming binary ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer ...

Magnetic fields may be the hidden force bringing both newborn stars and giant black holes together. New computer simulations ...

Astronomers have investigated a puzzling binary star system in which two stars that may have formed together now show ...

A team of astronomers from The Graduate University for Advanced Studies, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, and other universities have captured the first direct image of a young binary ...

How many Earth-sized exoplanets orbit binary star systems (two-star systems)? This is what a recent study accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion, formed via common envelope evolution. Although such systems ...

NASA's Kepler Space Telescope helped astronomers discover more about the formation of the planets in binary star systems. The researchers said that they now have an explanation of how the exoplanets ...

The binary star system ν Octantis has long been considered hostile to planet formation. The discovery of a white dwarf in the system offers an alternative view. However, Cheng and colleagues observe ...
