In this picture, the binary does not simply plow through surrounding gas and gradually slow down. Instead, the gas is tied to large-scale magnetic field lines that connect the inner disk to the outer ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer simulations show that magnetic fields surrounding newborn stars can act ...

New simulations show that interactions with a magnetic field can work to decrease the distance between still forming binary protostars. These results can help explain the characteristics of the binary ...

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide ...

(Nanowerk News) New simulations show that interactions with a magnetic field can work to decrease the distance between still forming binary protostars. These results can help explain the ...
