Their simulation, outlined in Physical Review Letters, reveals the emergence of a magnetically dominated jet from the merger, followed by the collapse of the binary neutron star system into a black ...

Video simulation of binary star. The binary star system, NGC 1333-IRAS2A, is surrounded by a disc consisting of gas and dust. Notably, the movement of gas and dust does not follow a continuous pattern ...

A team of astronomers from The Graduate University for Advanced Studies, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, and other universities have captured the first direct image of a young binary ...

In theory, it could happen – one of the very first solutions to the three-body problem was this scenario. But it is very unlikely to be stable over time. You need the stars to have near equal mass and ...

(Nanowerk News) New simulations show that interactions with a magnetic field can work to decrease the distance between still forming binary protostars. These results can help explain the ...

Simulation of binary star. Credit: From Jørgensen, Kuruwita et al. Nearly half of sun-size stars are binary. According to University of Copenhagen research, planetary systems around binary stars may ...
