Returning to the binary star system we're looking at with Curiel's 3D diagram, this particular pair, called GJ 896AD, is importantly made up of two red dwarfs -- aka the smallest, coolest kind of ...

A newly compiled 3D map has revealed more than 1 million binary star pairs located within 3,000 light years of Earth, highlighting the ubiquity of these celestial objects.

The binary system, named GJ 896AB, consists of two red dwarf stars that orbit each other. Orbiting the bigger of the two stars is a planet twice the size of Jupiter (GJ 896 Ab).

3D velocities versus sky-projected 2D velocities of a wide binary system. The new method uses the 3D velocities while all existing methods use the 2D velocities. view more .

Analysis of 3D velocities in wide binary stars reveals that, at internal accelerations below 1 nm s −2, gravitational strength is 40–50% higher than predicted by Newtonian dynamics, ...
