Now, a group of astronomers led by Toby Rodel of the Queen's University Belfast, UK, reports the detection of a new system of this type. They detected NGTS-EB-7 AB—a low-mass eclipsing binary ...

Figure 2: Positions of J0247-25A and J0247-25B in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram. There is a direct ... made about the evolution of the binary system during the mass transfer episode.

TESS previously revealed that Thuban, a former North Star, is also a eclipsing binary, as ... More illustrated here. Three such pairs make up a newly discovered sextuple star system called TYC ...

Eclipsing binaries can also fit into the two previously mentioned categories and are often so close together that they exchange material. A companion star in a binary system can have an effect on ...

However, follow-up observations show that it is a heartbeat system—in particular, a highly eccentric 153-day-period eclipsing binary consisting of a red giant showing solar-like oscillations and ...

Astrophysicists have identified two white dwarf stars in an eclipsing binary system, allowing for the first direct radius measurement of a rare white dwarf composed of pure helium. Astrophysicists ...

thus identifying a so-called "eclipsing binary system." Improving the speed of assessing binary stars by a factor of millions, as presented by PHOEBAI, is so exciting because of just how many ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have detected Beta Cephei-type pulsations in an eclipsing binary system known as V453 Cygni. The finding, detailed in a paper ...

It’s also known as an eclipsing binary system because one of the stars repeatedly crosses in front of the other. A white dwarf star is the phase in a star’s life cycle when it loses its outer ...

Astrophysicists at UC Santa Barbara are the first scientists to identify two white dwarf stars in an eclipsing binary system, allowing for the first direct radius measurement of a rare white dwarf ...
