This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments. The ...

A tiny, dense stellar corpse in a nearby galaxy is pumping out so much energy that, on paper, it should have blown itself ...

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of ...

Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Astrophysicists are closing in on one of the strangest possibilities in stellar evolution, a compact remnant that might sit ...
