Astronomers have mapped 39 interstellar clouds where high-mass stars are expected to form. This large data set shows that the accepted model of low-mass star formation needs to be expanded to ...

Low-mass stars turn into giant stars at the end of their lives, and high-mass stars become supergiants or even hypergiants.

But when a star heavier than eight times the mass of our sun exhausts its nuclear fuel and fusion halts, the core collapses catastrophically. The result is a core-collapse supernova: a shock wave from ...

high-mass stars that are more than eight solar masses, and low-mass stars a tenth to half a solar mass in size. The greater a star's mass, the shorter its lifespan generally is, according to NASA.

Even the most powerful high-tech telescopes are barely able to record remote low-mass and thus faint stars. Together with researchers from Poland and Chile, an astrophysicist from the University ...

NEID is a high-precision radial-velocity spectrograph ... but it is also one of the most massive planets known to orbit a low-mass star. "It is an exciting time for both NEID and Gaia," says ...

This new study reveals that the way in which high-mass and low-mass stars form may be more similar than previously suspected. The scientists report their work in the journal Monthly Notices of the ...

Today we are talking about the life -- and death -- of stars. Low mass stars live a long time, fusing all their hydrogen into helium over a trillion years. More massive stars like the Sun live ...

Spectroscopic observations have now established the near ubiquity of gaseous outflows in star-forming galaxies at high redshifts ... (optical m AB ≳ 25.5), low-mass galaxies in the early ...

But the lingering problem with this scenario is that high-mass stars — the progenitors ... astronomers see in the cosmos. So, perhaps low-mass stars, which end their lives as white dwarfs ...

NEID is a high-precision radial-velocity spectrograph ... Gaia-4b—one of the most massive planets known to orbit a low-mass star. Gaia-4b is also the first planet detected by the European ...
