Powerful magnetic fields may tear apart and trap giant stellar eruptions before the plasma can escape into space.

An international team of astrophysicists and plasma physicists has provided the first experimental evidence that strong ...

A cosmic census suggests 40 quintillion stellar black holes exist, with the largest often forming through interactions in star clusters.

Astronomers have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars -- 'dead' remnants and 'living' stars -- in young star clusters. This breakthrough offers new insights on an extreme ...

Astronomers have found evidence that some stars boast unexpectedly strong surface magnetic fields, a discovery that challenges current models of how they evolve. In stars like our sun, surface ...

What is the relationship between a star’s magnetic field and its space weather, specifically coronal mass ejections (CMEs)?

Galaxy mergers are fundamental events in the hierarchical assembly of structure, in which two or more gravitationally bound systems coalesce to form a single, more massive galaxy. Such interactions ...
