This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments. The ...

A study published today in Astronomy & Astrophysics marks a significant milestone in our understanding of the formation and dynamical evolution of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters ...

Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...

Star chemistry reveals two spiral arms and a faint bridge in the Milky Way, offering a clearer view of hidden structure in ...

A new study has unveiled new insights into the effects of massive stars on nearby molecular gas and star formation in the W4 ...

In a groundbreakingrelease on July 7, 2025, NASA showcased extraordinary images from its Hubble and Webb space telescopes that reveal the intricate dynamics of two star clusters, NGC 460 and NGC 456.

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open ...

What can coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on other stars teach astronomers about stellar formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Nature hopes to address as an international team ...

What can fast-spinning stars known as “blue lurkers” teach us about star formation and evolution? This is what a recent study being presented at the 245th American Astronomical Society meeting hopes ...

Stars form in massive clouds of gas called molecular clouds. As they form, they accrete gas from these clouds, and as the ...

Scientists using data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have measured all the starlight produced over 90 percent of the universe’s history. The analysis, which examines the gamma-ray output ...

Astronomer Francesco D’Eugenio wasn’t looking for a murdered galaxy. His team set out to measure the motions of stars in a distant galaxy and to understand why they appeared so old. Similar massive ...
