Astronomers have found the fastest spinning star ever discovered. The hot blue giant rotates at a dizzying 1 million mph (1.6 million km/h), or 100 times faster than our Sun. The star is close to the ...

Do star clusters harbor many generations of stars or just one? Scientists have long searched for an answer and, thanks to the University of Arizona's MMT telescope, found one in the Wild Duck Cluster, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The paper provides a new framework for the description of linearized adiabatic Lagrangian perturbations and stability of differentially ...

Astronomers have spotted the fastest rotating star yet found — a massive and bright young star located in our neighboring dwarf galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. The giant star lies in the Tarantula ...

Using the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), an international team of astronomers have detected very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-rays around the pulsar PSR J0248+6021, which may be the ...

Three undergraduate students, from Leiden University in the Netherlands, have discovered an extrasolar planet. The extraordinary find, which turned up during their research project, is about five ...

Researchers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered a rotating ring containing large organic molecules around a protostar. This observation definitively shows ...

New ultraviolet observations indicate a Milky Way star is spinning nearly 200 times faster than Earth’s sun, the probable result of a merger between two sun-like stars whose binary orbit recently ...

The way they move belies the true ages of the almost 3,000 stars populating one of the richest star clusters known. Astronomers recently discovered the stars all were born in the same generation, ...
