The new models show that after the ejection of the envelope, the stars heat up three times faster than found in older models. This makes it much easier for a low mass star, such as the sun, to form a ...

An international team of astronomers led by Stefan Kimeswenger from the Department of Astro and Particle Physics, together with scientific amateurs, has identified a new class of galactic nebulae. Thi ...

The medium size planetary nebula is the final stage ... mass of our sun is lost by the central star of the Boomerang Nebula in an ejection process called bipolar outflow. The nebula received ...

When helium runs out, the core cools and expands, leading to the ejection of outer layers that form a planetary nebula around the dying star. Ultimately, the core cools into a white dwarf and then ...

Astronomers discovered FFPs (free floating planets- rogue planets) more than 20 years ago, using the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope in Hawaii. Since then, ...

JuMBOs, pairs of planetary-mass objects, raise questions. Their binary nature and abundance in certain regions of space, such as the Orion Nebula, suggest an origin ... as it is difficult to ...

Scientists have been receiving X-ray signals from the Helix Nebula for decades, but now they believe it may hide a horrifying ...

When a star comes to the end of its life and dies, it can be an epic and destructive event, throwing out an explosion of heat and light — but it can create stunning new forms as well. A gorgeous new ...

Decades of constant X-ray emission from the Helix Nebula’s white dwarf suggest debris from a Jupiter-sized planet steadily rains upon the star.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has observed a planetary nebula designated ...

"We think this X-ray signal could be from planetary debris pulled onto the white dwarf, as the death knell from a planet that was destroyed by the white dwarf in the Helix nebula," said Sandino ...
