Violent Birth of Neutron Stars: Computer Simulations Confirm Sloshing and Spiral Motions as Stellar Matter Falls Inward
June 27, 2013 — Scientists have conducted the most expensive and most elaborate computer simulations so far to study the formation of neutron stars at the center of collapsing stars with unprecedented accuracy. ... > full story -
First Transiting Planets in a Star Cluster Discovered
June 26, 2013 — All stars begin their lives in groups. Most stars are born in small groups that quickly fall apart. Others form in huge, dense swarms, where stars jostle with thousands of neighbors while strong ... > full story -
Survivor of Stellar Collision Is New Type of Pulsating Star
June 26, 2013 — Astronomers have observed the remnant of a stellar collision and discovered that its brightness varies in a way not seen before on this rare type of star. By analyzing the patterns in these ... > full story -
Astronomers Spy on Galaxies in the Raw
June 26, 2013 — A radio telescope has detected the raw material for making the first stars in galaxies that formed when the Universe was just three billion years old -- less than a quarter of its current ... > full story -
Three Planets in Habitable Zone of Nearby Star: Gliese 667c Reexamined
June 25, 2013 — Astronomers have combined new observations of Gliese 667C with existing data to reveal a system with at least six planets. A record-breaking three of these planets are super-Earths lying in the zone ... > full story -
Solar Splashdown Provide New Insights Into How Young Stars Grow by Sucking Up Nearby Gas
June 20, 2013 — On June 7, 2011, our sun erupted, blasting tons of hot plasma into space. Some of that plasma splashed back down onto the sun's surface, sparking bright flashes of ultraviolet light. This dramatic ... > full story -
Flare Star WX UMa Becomes 15 Times Brighter in Less Than 3 Minutes
June 14, 2013 — Astrophysicists have detected a star of low luminosity which within a matter of moments gave off a flare so strong that it became almost 15 times brighter. The star in question is the flare star WX ... > full story -
Evidence for Extrasolar Planet Under Construction
June 13, 2013 — The keen vision of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has detected a mysterious gap in a vast protoplanetary disk of gas and dust swirling around the nearby star TW Hydrae, located 176 light-years away in ... > full story -
First Evidence of a New Phase in Neutron Stars
June 13, 2013 — The nuclear ‘pasta’, called as such due its similarity to the Italian food, limits the period of rotation of pulsars, and astronomers have detected the first evidence of existence of a ... > full story
