WASHINGTON − An ideologically divided Supreme Court on July 14 allowed the Trump administration to fire hundreds of workers ...

Astronomers have mapped 39 interstellar clouds where high-mass stars are expected to form. This large data set shows that the accepted model of low-mass star formation needs to be expanded to ...

With an assist from the NEID spectrograph, a team of astronomers have confirmed the existence of exoplanet Gaia-4b—one of the most massive planets known to orbit a low-mass star. Gaia-4b is also ...

Initial mass function A greater understanding of high-mass star formation could ultimately help solve the mystery of why massive stars are so rare. The most common stars in the universe are the ...

Star classification often depends on the mass of these suns—the biggest burn hottest and brightest, while other types of stars are cooler and longer-lived.

There is another kind of star explosion called—unsurprisingly—a Type II supernova, which is triggered when a high-mass star dies.

Microquasars are usually classified depending on the mass of the star in the system into either "low-mass" or "high-mass" systems, with lower-mass systems being much more abundant.

When a star is ripped apart by the gravitational forces of a black hole, what is left of the star is heated so much by the intensity of those forces that a flare occurs.

Citizen scientists spotted an object zipping through the Milky Way at more than 1 million miles an hour, and a new study shows it could be a rare hypervelocity star.

Astronomers have mapped 39 interstellar clouds where high-mass stars are expected to form. This large data set shows that the accepted model of low-mass star formation needs to be expanded to explain ...
