The evolution of stars and their interactions with compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, remain pivotal in our understanding of the cosmos. Stellar evolution describes the life ...

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 ...

Supercomputer simulations identify stellar rotation as the mechanism driving chemical mixing in red giants, explaining long-observed surface composition changes during stellar evolution.

Stellar evolution as a research area investigates the physical processes governing the formation, structural changes, and end states of stars across cosmic time, using stellar structure theory, ...

Stellar transients and mergers represent a dynamic, multifaceted area of astrophysical research in which binary or multiple star systems undergo rapid, transformative events. These phenomena, which ...

CC0 Usage Conditions ApplyClick for more information. This presentation focuses on understanding the process of stellar evolution by using a series of materials, resources and investigations ...

This image from the ALMA telescope shows star system HD101584 and the complex gas clouds surrounding the binary. It is the result of a pair of stars sharing a common outer layer during their last ...

Low-energy nuclear fusion reactions can potentially provide clean energy. In stars, low-energy fusion reactions during the stages of carbon and oxygen burning are critical to stellar evolution. These ...
