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 ...

Stars and planets are inextricably linked. They form together and stars shape the fate of planets. Stars create the dusty ...

Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess only a single evolutionary pathway; instead, depending on the nature of its ...

New research explains how dust links the formation, evolution, and fate of stars and planets, and why future telescopes are needed to observe these processes in detail ...

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 ...

Leonardo Testi and team investigate the initial conditions for planet formation in this special astronomy focus ...

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 ...

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 ...

Galaxy clusters are formed by a dense packing of many galaxies, making them the most massive structures in the universe.

Observations of ultra-massive galaxies, each containing more than 100 billion stars, show that less than 2 billion years ...

'The results of our study provide the first solid evidence that globular clusters formed through multiple star-formation events and place fundamental constraints on the dynamical path followed by the ...
