Everything we know about the formation of solar systems might be wrong, says University of Florida astronomy professor Jian Ge and his postdoc, Bo Ma. They’ve discovered the first “binary-binary” – ...
Astronomers have confirmed a giant planet orbiting a tightly bound pair of young stars, marking a first in direct exoplanet ...
A study on the star system titled "The Physical Properties of the SVS 13 Protobinary System: Two Circumstellar Disks and a Spiraling Circumbinary Disk in the Making" has been accepted for publication ...
An international team of researchers has just revealed the existence of three Earth-sized planets in the binary stellar system TOI-2267 located about 190 light-years away. This discovery, published in ...
An "extra exceptional" Tatooine-like exoplanet, orbiting two suns, has been discovered. Astronomers say the "huge" new world ...
Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion, formed via common envelope evolution. Although such systems ...
Washington DC — New theoretical work shows that gas-giant planet formation can occur around binary stars in much the same way that it occurs around single stars like the Sun. The work is presented ...
The mystery of how planets and icy objects formed in the farthest reaches of our solar system just took an exciting turn. A team of researchers from NASA recently uncovered strong evidence for a rare ...

Moons in close binary solar systems have a better chance of hosting life than those in single-star systems, new research has shown. Top image: Avatar Binary stars dampen each other’s solar radiation ...
White dwarf stars represent the evolutionary endpoints of medium- and low-mass stars, comprising the dense, electron-degenerate cores left after nuclear fuel exhaustion. In binary systems, ...
