Propeller Star J0240 - V1
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have identified the first eclipsing
magnetic propeller in a cataclysmic variable star system, according to research
forthcoming in the Astrophysical Journal. The system J0240 comprises a highly
magnetic whi...

Galaxy Ejecting Star
This shows a hypothetical spiral galaxy seen from an oblique angle. A red dwarf star
has been ejected by the galaxy at high speeds and will wander the void between
galaxies. Such objects are known as free-floating stars....

Sun Compared to Largest Star - Labelled
Diagram comparing the Sun with Stephenson 2-18. The latter is the current contender
for the largest known star, a red hypergiant some 2150 times the diameter of the Sun.
The Sun can fit into it 10 billion times!...

PSR 1257+12 and Exoplanets
Artwork of the millisecond pulsar known as PSR 1257+12, located 3000 light-years away
in the constellation of Virgo. The star, with spins once every 0.006219 seconds, is
also known as Lich. Surprisingly, this pulsar - a neutron star emitting beams of...

Supernova Progenitor HD265435
Astronomers led by a team from Warwick University have found a binary star which they
believe is heading towards a supernova. Light variations from the system (called
HD265435) indicate that the larger star is distorted into a teardrop shape by its
d...

HD 209458 - V3a
HD 209458 is a star with an extrasolar planet. The planet, HD 209458b or Osiris,
orbits so close to its parent star (only a few stellar diameters away) that star's
stellar wind is gradually stripping away the planet's atmosphere, to form a long,
come...

Gravity Waves from Colliding White Dwarfs
Two white dwarfs are approaching each other on an inbound spiral that can only result
in destrucion, sending gravitational waves deep into the cosmos. They will soon
collide to form a Type 1a supernova....
