Two teams of astronomers have simultaneously discovered a strange, spinning dead star that seems to defy our current ...

Observations of a pulsar, consisting of a dead star spinning 600 times a second, and feasting on a stellar companion reveal ...

Back to Article List Fastest rotating star found in neighboring galaxy Astronomers think this sun may have had a violent past and has been ejected from a double star system by its exploding companion.

The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope has picked up the fastest rotating star found so far. This massive bright young star lies in our neighboring galaxy, the Large Magellanic ...

The fastest rotating star yet found has been spotted by an international team of astronomers. The massive and bright young star is located about 160,000 light-years away from Earth in the ...

If your idea of fun is whirling around on a dizzying carnival ride, astronomers have found a stellar adventure that would stop you in your tracks. A sizzling-hot star is spinning around at near ...

Astronomers have just solved a long-standing mystery about a rare, rapidly spinning neutron star known as PSR J1023+0038.

The fastest-spinning white dwarf ever discovered is a shrinking cosmic vampire feasting on a stellar companion. A feeding process is pushing the dead star toward an imminent supernova explosion.

If the star is rotating slower than thought, astronomers will need to revisit a leading theory that posits Betelgeuse spun up after it cannibalized an ill-fated sunlike star not so long ago.

A dead star 27,400 light-years away appears to be having one of the most epic stellar discos we've ever seen. In the binary system 4U 1820-30, a neutron star is spinning so fast around its center axis ...

Discovery of rotating disc surrounding star in another galaxy a ‘special moment’ Findings could help astronomers understand more about how stars are born.

TOI-640 is a binary star, and its companion is a red dwarf. Light from the anticlockwise-rotating star is blue-shifted on the approaching side and red-shifted on the receding side.
