  • Special Issue Call for Papers for Stellar Astronomy and Astrophysics of the Binary Stars

    2019-12-13

    Special Issue Call for Papers for Stellar Astronomy and Astrophysics of the Binary Stars

     Background: The stellar parameters of the binary system are of the utmost importance in the scope of astrophysics specially the stellar masses. These play a crucial role for giving the most intimate knowledge of the formation and evolution of the binary systems. In addition, the synthetic models in the binary systems such as evolutionary tracks are instrumental in explaining and improving the picture of the binary systems.

  • New exoplanet found very close to its star

    2018-09-11

    Wolf 503b, an exoplanet twice the size of Earth, has been discovered by an international team of Canadian, American and German researchers using data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope. The find is described in a new study whose lead author is Merrin Peterson, an Institute for research on exoplanets (iREx) graduate student who started her master's degree at Université de Montréal (UdeM) in May.

    Wolf 503b is about 145 light years from Earth in the Virgo constellation; it orbits its star every six days and is thus very close to it, about 10 times closer than Mercury is to the Sun.

  • Galactic 'wind' stifling star formation is most distant yet seen

    2017-06-08

    "Galaxies are complicated, messy beasts, and we think outflows and winds are critical pieces to how they form and evolve, regulating their ability to grow," Spilker said.

    Some galaxies such as the Milky Way and Andromeda have relatively slow and measured rates of starbirth, with about one new star igniting each year. Other galaxies, known as starburst galaxies, forge hundreds or even thousands of stars each year. This furious pace, however, cannot be maintained indefinitely.
