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 ...

These three galaxy images from the AEGIS survey show a range of galaxy types: a disk-like spiral galaxy (top), a cloud-like elliptical galaxy (middle), and an irregular galaxy resulting from a ...

Astronomers used RR Lyrae stars to trace the early Milky Way, revealing a rapid formation of its halo and disk, with chemical patterns similar to Andromeda.

What can fast-spinning stars known as “blue lurkers” teach us about star formation and evolution? This is what a recent study being presented at the 245th American Astronomical Society meeting hopes ...

The combination of theoretical models and empirical data provides a new perspective for understanding the complex interactions between young stars and their environments. A study led by Paolo Padoan, ...

Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess only a single evolutionary pathway; instead, depending on the nature of its ...

Astronomers have recently uncovered an extraordinary star, SDSS J0715-7334, which may be the most “pristine” object ever discovered. Located in the halo of the Large Magellanic Cloud, this star offers ...

How can timing influence planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the ...

To understand how the universe was formed and how we got here, ancient stars are some of the best objects to study — yet astronomers know surprisingly little about the conditions in which they were ...
