Galaxy Ejecting Star
This shows a hypothetical spiral galaxy seen from an oblique angle. A red dwarf star has been ejected by the galaxy at high speeds and
will wander the void between galaxies. Such objects are known as free-floating stars....

PSR 1257+12 and Exoplanets
Artwork of the millisecond pulsar known as PSR 1257+12, located 3000 light-years away
in the constellation of Virgo. The star, with spins
once every 0.006219 seconds, is also known as Lich. Surprisingly, this pulsar - a
neutron star emitting beams of...

Supernova Progenitor HD265435
Astronomers led by a team from Warwick University have found a binary star which they believe is heading towards a supernova.
Light variations from the system (called HD265435) indicate that the larger star is distorted into a teardrop shape by its d...

HD 209458 - V3a
HD 209458 is a star with an extrasolar planet. The
planet, HD 209458b or Osiris, orbits so close to its parent star (only a few stellar diameters away) that star's stellar wind is gradually stripping away the
planet's atmosphere, to form a long, come...

Gravity Waves from Colliding White Dwarfs
Two white dwarfs are approaching each other on an inbound spiral that can only result
in destrucion, sending gravitational waves deep into the cosmos. They will soon
collide to form a Type 1a supernova....
