New studies reveal how metallicity and stellar evolution determine whether massive stars expand into red supergiants prior to Type II supernova explosions.

Astronomers have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars -- 'dead' remnants and 'living' stars -- in young star clusters. This breakthrough offers new insights on an extreme ...

The evolution of stars and their interactions with compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, remain pivotal in our understanding of the cosmos. Stellar evolution describes the life ...

This article examines the spectroscopic properties of young stellar objects, linking accretion dynamics to observed ...

Astronomers at the University of Toronto (U of T) have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars—"dead" remnants and "living" stars—in young star clusters. Described in a new ...

Stellar evolution as a research area investigates the physical processes governing the formation, structural changes, and end states of stars across cosmic time, using stellar structure theory, ...

Stellar transients and mergers represent a dynamic, multifaceted area of astrophysical research in which binary or multiple star systems undergo rapid, transformative events. These phenomena, which ...
