Researchers from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have unveiled a neural network-based ...

For the first time, astronomers have used X-ray data to observe the sea of charged particles that radiates off a trio of bright stars. This outward flow, called stellar wind, plays a critical role in ...

Flagstaff, Ariz. – Gyrochronology, a new method for accurately determining the ages of field stars based on their rotational rates, is being announced today by Sydney Barnes, Lowell Observatory ...

A researcher from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), working with collaborators from Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie, France, have developed a method to compute more ...

The detection of exoplanets using any method is prone to confusion due to the intrinsic variability of the host star. We investigate the effect of cool starspots on the detectability of the exoplanets ...

The stable oscillations of pulsating stars can serve as accurate timepieces, which may be monitored for the influence of exoplanets. An external companion gravitationally tugs the host star, causing ...

The protective cover of the Corot telescope has been successfully opened, and Corot has seen for the first time light coming from stars. Surveying vast stellar fields to learn about star interiors and ...
