Webb Watches Carbon-Rich Dust Shells Form, Expand in Star System science.nasa.gov/missions/webb #NASA #Astrophysics #BinaryStars #GoddardSpaceFlightCenter #JamesWebbSpaceTelescopeJWST #Nebulae #ScienceResearch #Stars #TheMilkyWay #TheUniverse

A portion of Webb’s 2023 observation of Wolf-Rayet 140. A bright white hexagon is toward the bottom left-center. This is the two stars. Blue diffraction spikes point diagonally toward 8, 11, and 1 o’clock. Surrounding the central light are a series of regularly spaced rings. A segment of each of the rings at around 2 o’clock appears brighter. These bright patches form a line that travels to the upper right. A few blue background dots are on the black background of space.
science.nasa.govWebb Watches Carbon-Rich Dust Shells Form, Expand in Star System - NASA ScienceAstronomers have long tried to track down how elements like carbon, which is essential for life, become widely distributed across the universe. Now, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has examined one ongoing source of carbon-rich dust in our own Milky Way galaxy in greater detail: Wolf-Rayet 140, a system of two massive stars that follow […]

science.nasa.govDiscovery Alert: Mini-Neptune in Double Star System is a Planetary Puzzle - NASA ScienceThe Discovery A planet that could resemble a smaller version of our own Neptune orbits one of two Sun-like stars that also orbit each other. The planet dwells in the “habitable zone,” with a potentially moderate temperature, and poses a challenge to prevailing ideas of planet formation. Key Facts Astronomers once imagined that our solar […]

A fascinating and unlikely pair, perhaps doomed in the future.
Would love to watch a white dwarf devour a brown dwarf, wonder how many other stellar remnants have eaten their lesser twin and would we know?

Astronomy Magazine · This brown dwarf used to be inside its white dwarf companion.The pair has a very interesting history.

During #eRASS1 from 12/19 to 06/20, #eROSITA found more than 700,000 supermassive black holes in distant galaxies (active galactic nuclei), 180,000 #Xray emitting stars in our #Milkyway, 12,000 clusters of galaxies, and other exotic classes of sources: #Xray emitting #BinaryStars, #SupernovaRemnants, #Pulsars. The ~50 paper highlighting 1000 superclusters of galaxies, a giant filament of pristine warm-hot gas extending between two galaxies and two new Quasi-Periodically Erupting QPE #blackholes

Less than 24 hours until #erositadr1, the first data release of the #eROSITA #xray #spacetelescope!
With ~ 900.000 distinct sources, the first #AllSkySurvey #eRASS1 has yielded the largest X-ray catalogue ever! Get ready for supermassive #blackholes, X-ray emitting stars in our #Milkyway, clusters of galaxies, X-ray emitting #BinaryStars, #SupernovaRemnants, #Pulsars, and other objects - And about 50 new publications from the German eROSITA consortium!

⚠ Tomorrow, January 31, 10:00 CET!
