Stellar winds were supposed to be the straightforward conveyor belt that carried the raw ingredients of life from dying stars ...

Stardust alone can’t drive stellar winds, reshaping what we know about how aging stars spread life’s elements through space.

Each star system is a unique paintbrush in the cosmos, and astronomers are finally beginning to understand why. In new research, a team of scientists focused on a dozen cool red giant stars, the ...

"Our estimated mass-loss rates can be used as a benchmark for stellar wind models and expand our limited observational evidence for the winds of sun-like stars." When you purchase through links on our ...

A Canadian-led international team of astronomers recently discovered that spots on the surface of a supergiant star are driving huge spiral structures in its stellar wind. Their results are published ...

New observations of the red giant star R Doradus suggest starlight alone cannot drive stellar winds that spread key elements through the galaxy.

Astronomers present an explanation for the mesmerising shapes of planetary nebulae. The discovery is based on an extraordinary set of observations of stellar winds around ageing stars. Contrary to ...

Red giants are old stars that eject gaseous material and solid particles through a stellar wind. Some red giants appeared to lose an exceptionally large amount of mass this way. However, new ...

For the first time, astronomers have used X-ray data to observe the sea of charged particles that radiates off a trio of bright stars. This outward flow, called stellar wind, plays a critical role in ...

Trainer John Sadler had a deliberate plan for Stellar Wind 's 2016 campaign, and so far, Hronis Racing's Curlin filly has checked off every box. Ahead, however, is the most important box to check in ...

Data recorded by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory of a neutron star as it passed through a dense patch of stellar wind emanating from its massive companion star provide valuable insight about the ...
