Supermassive black holes rarely travel alone. Most large galaxies hide one at the center, and when galaxies collide, the two ...

Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how planetary systems form.

New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems, relativistic effects cause orbital resonances that destabilize planets, ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

For a single supermassive black hole, extremely strong lensing occurs only when a star lies almost exactly along the line of ...

Researchers at Oxford University and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) are ...

We often blame our stars for the relationships that do not go as planned. Instead of enriching our lives, some connections ...

Astronomers have finally decoded the origin of a powerful seven hour signal from deep space, a blast so persistent that it ...

Abstract: The development of accurate and reliable dynamic models of grid-tied inverters is crucial for system-level simulation and the investigation of renewable power systems under ...

Ferris State University student researcher Francisco Vasquez worked with his professor, Dr. Dinesh Shetty, to create new orbital models for binary star systems, four of which have been adopted by the ...
