Binary asteroid systems are widespread throughout our inner solar system. For decades, the standard paradigm held that many ...
Astrophysicist Tomoaki Matsumoto and collaborators have used three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic supercomputer simulations ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer ...
Simulations show magnetic fields can remove angular momentum from forming protostars, helping binary star systems form within ...
Magnetic fields may be the hidden force bringing both newborn stars and giant black holes together. New computer simulations ...
In theory, it could happen – one of the very first solutions to the three-body problem was this scenario. But it is very unlikely to be stable over time. You need the stars to have near equal mass and ...
