A distant neutron star unexpectedly reawakened, unleashing a powerful X-ray surge that may reveal how the universe’s most ...

Gas-giant planets such as Jupiter and Saturn form quickly by scooping up pebble-size building blocks and pushing smaller potential planets out of the way, new research suggests. Stars are born from ...

Stars are born in clouds of gas and dust, making it difficult to observe their early development. But researchers at Chalmers have now succeeded in simulating how a star with the mass of the sun ...

Stars form in massive clouds of gas called molecular clouds. As they form, they accrete gas from these clouds, and as the stars rotate, gas and dust accumulates in a rotating disk around the star ...

The researchers in a recent breakthrough have successfully modelled luminous black hole accretion, the process of matter ...

An artist's impression of an accretion disk feeding the central protostar and a jet coming out from the protostar. Yin-Chih Tsai/ASIAA Nearly 1,300 light-years from Earth lies a young star that’s ...

Most stars in the universe come in the form of pairs – binaries – or even multiple star systems. Now, the formation of such a binary star system has been observed for the first time with ...

An international team of researchers from multiple institutions, including INRS, is shedding light on the mystery of matter accretion in young stars. Published in the November 1, 2017 Science Advances ...

Astronomers have captured the first evidence of a white dwarf, the stellar remnant left over when smaller stars die, coming back to life while feeding on a companion star. The team, led by Durham ...
