"Our estimated mass-loss rates can be used as a benchmark for stellar wind models and expand our limited observational evidence for the winds of sun-like stars." When you purchase through links on our ...

Astronomers present an explanation for the mesmerising shapes of planetary nebulae. The discovery is based on an extraordinary set of observations of stellar winds around ageing stars. Contrary to ...

A Canadian-led international team of astronomers recently discovered that spots on the surface of a supergiant star are driving huge spiral structures in its stellar wind. Their results are published ...

An international research team led by a researcher from the University of Vienna has for the first time directly detected stellar winds from three sun-like stars by recording the X-ray emission from ...

For the first time, astronomers have used X-ray data to observe the sea of charged particles that radiates off a trio of bright stars. This outward flow, called stellar wind, plays a critical role in ...

Employing state-of-the-art numerical simulations, a study led by scientists at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has obtained the first systematic characterization of the properties ...

For the first time, infrared signatures of stellar winds from massive stars in a galaxy other than the Milky Way have been detected in NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data. The discovery was ...

Stellar wind bows arise when the supersonic outflow of charged particles from a star encounters the ambient interstellar medium (ISM), creating a curved shock front that delineates an astrospheric ...

Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have clocked the fastest wind yet discovered blowing off a disk around a stellar-mass black hole. This result has important implications for ...

An international research team led by a researcher from the University of Vienna has for the first time directly detected stellar winds from three Sun-like stars by recording the X-ray emission from ...
