Simulations of highly magnetized stars that explode and collapse into black holes show that they transfer their magnetic fields to the disk of swirling matter that forms around the new black hole.

An international team, including UNIGE, has reproduced for the first time the formation and evolution of a magnetar.

Kilonova explosions from neutron star collisions may damage atmospheres and threaten life if nearby, according to a new study ...

Out in the universe lie dead stellar remnants called neutron stars, and these stars gain tremendously powerful magnetic fields when matter ejected from during their explosive supernova deaths ...

Previously, long radio bursts were only traced to neutron stars ... a strong magnetic field that routinely releases the pulses, or the magnetic fields of the red dwarf star and the white dwarf ...

More massive stars than the Sun have a very different life cycle and follow the right hand path in the diagram above: \({Nebula}\rightarrow{protostar}\rightarrow{main~sequence~star}\rightarrow{red ...

Artistic illustration showing the radio pulses emitted by the binary star system ... the radio bursts emanate from the strong magnetic field of the white dwarf, or they could be produced by ...

"Now, for the first time, we are seeing directly that strong magnetic fields may play an important role in suppressing star formation, even at small scales." Detailed study of stars in this ...

A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting ... interaction of the red dwarf with the white dwarf's magnetic field. Astronomers plan to study the ultraviolet emission ...

An international team of astronomers led by Dr Iris de Ruiter, now at the University of Sydney, has shown that a white dwarf and a red dwarf star orbiting each other every two hours are emitting ...
