How many Earth-sized exoplanets orbit binary star systems (two-star systems)? This is what a recent study accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

Those ones and zeros might not look like anything to you, but in binary code the numbers are actually saying “Hello!” Any code that uses just two symbols to represent information is considered binary ...

In a recent study accepted to Astronomy & Astrophysics, a team of researchers use a combination of space- and ground-based telescopes to examine a binary star system (two stars orbiting each other) in ...

M33 X-7 contains a massive black hole orbiting a large star in a surprisingly close orbit. The star is dimmer than expected due to its rapid mass gain and viewing angle. A new model explains the ...
