"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 ...

The spin-down of cool stars on the main-sequence, like our Sun, is a critical area of modern astrophysics, with strong links ...

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 ...

A red dwarf 130 light-years away has just rewritten the rules of space weather. For the first time, astronomers have captured ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
