The center of this binary system is a low-mass star—something smaller than our sun—with a brown dwarf orbiting around it.

A binary star system caught in the earliest stages of formation is giving astronomers clues as to why solar systems that circle double stars may be altogether different than our own.

A research team has used both archival Hubble Space Telescope data and new observations to precisely measure the binary star system NGC3603-A1. One star weighs about 93 times the mass of our sun, ...

Astrophysicists have discovered the tightest ultracool dwarf binary system ever observed. The two stars are so close that it takes them less than one Earth day to revolve around each other. In ...

A team of astronomers led by Dr. Phil Massey of Lowell Observatory has taken the sharpest look yet at one of the heaviest ...

A rare quadruple star system with two brown dwarfs orbiting two red dwarf stars could help shed light on how these "failed ...

Astronomers have precisely measured the binary star system NGC3603-A1, discovering one of the most massive binary systems in our galaxy.

Astronomers can measure orbital size and period of a binary system easily enough from observations, so with those two pieces they can calculate the total mass of the system. Kepler’s harmonic law acts ...

This Number System Beats Binary, But Most Computers Can’t Use It Why do computers only work with the numbers 0 and 1? There are machines that process three digits with more efficiency than you ...
