Vampire white dwarfs may play a role in creating some of the universe’s most unusual dead stars, according to new research.

Researchers have assembled Unite, the largest internally consistent Type Ia supernova Hubble diagram yet, combining 2,884 ...

Dwarf galaxies—with a mass equal to about a billion suns, but often considerably less—are the most abundant in the universe.

The days are numbered for two newly discovered dead stars locked in a spinning spiral of doom that will eventually lead to a catastrophic collision that triggers a supernova explosion, astronomers say ...

This artist’s impression shows a sunset seen from the super-Earth Gliese 667 Cc. Astronomers have estimated that there are tens of billions of such rocky worlds orbiting faint red dwarf stars in the ...

Could white dwarf stars host habitable exoplanets that might support life as we know it? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international team of ...

A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other emitting radio pulses every two hours. Their findings means we know it isn't just neutron stars that emit such ...

As of today, more than 5600 exoplanets, planets that are gravitationally bound to stars other than our sun, have been discovered. Within that catalog exists a vast array of planetary classes – small ...
