A: Yes, planetary systems can exist in binary star systems. As of July 2019, astronomers have found 97 planetary systems containing 143 planets around binary stars. These planets may orbit just one of ...

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 ...

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 ...

While observing a distant binary star system known as IRS 43 with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in northern Chile, astronomers have determined something very odd that we’ve never seen ...
