Chinese astronomers have employed NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to observe an eclipsing binary of the ...

When two stars orbit one another in such a way that one blocks the other's light each time it swings around, that's an ...

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 ...

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 ...

A finding chart for the system can be found on the OGLE Project ... The dynamical mass of a classical Cepheid variable star in an eclipsing binary system. Nature 468, 542 –544 (2010 ...

The study found that Mon-735 is a detached, double-lined pre-main sequence (PMS) eclipsing binary. The system displays relatively equal eclipses and its orbital period was measured to be ...

Unique eclipsing binary star system discovered Date: June 2, 2010 Source: University of California - Santa Barbara Summary: Astrophysicists have identified two white dwarf stars in an eclipsing ...

White dwarf stars represent the evolutionary endpoints of medium- and low-mass stars, comprising the dense, electron-degenerate cores left after nuclear fuel exhaustion. In binary systems ...

The two white dwarf stars complete an orbit around each other every seven minutes. It’s also known as an eclipsing binary system because one of the stars repeatedly crosses in front of the other.

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 ...
