"The study makes it plausible that the mysterious low-mass object of 1.17 solar masses in system J0453+1559 is indeed a ...

Astronomers have discovered four planets that are just a fraction of the mass of Earth orbiting Barnard’s Star, which is 6 ...

The smallest disk identified, meanwhile, stretched to just 0.6 AU – closer to the star than the Earth is to the Sun.

The planets are all too hot for life as we know it, but astronomers haven’t given up searching for more planets in Barnard's ...

These rather small planets are a stone's throw from Earth in galactic terms, but were too small for previous instruments to ...

Astronomers used the powerful James Webb Space Telescope to sleuth out some of these objects, called brown dwarfs, in a vibrant star-forming region of our galaxy called the Flame Nebula. Brown dwarfs ...

"Developing a better understanding of how low-mass star systems evolve and getting snapshots of long-lived disks might help pave the way to filling out the blanks in the photo album of the ...

Researchers at Monash University and Swinburne University of Technology recently ran 3D simulations of supernova explosions, to explore the possibility that the low-mass star in the J0453+1559 ...
