Stellar winds were supposed to be the straightforward conveyor belt that carried the raw ingredients of life from dying stars into interstellar space. Instead, new observations have exposed a gap ...

For the first time, infrared signatures of stellar winds from massive stars in a galaxy other than the Milky Way have been detected in NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data. The discovery was ...

High-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) constitute a crucial class of astrophysical systems in which a massive, early-type star transfers matter to a compact object—commonly a neutron star or black hole—via ...
