A 10-second timelapse condenses 17 years of a gas giant exoplanet's incomplete orbit around its host star.
Northwestern researchers developed the first 3D simulations of energy rippling from a massive star’s core to its outer surface. Using these new models, the researchers determined, for the first time, how much stars should innately twinkle.
Scientists have developed a new model to predict how much “gravity waves” could alter a star’s brightness
A team of researchers led by Northwestern University has made groundbreaking discoveries about the innate "twinkle" of stars caused by rippling waves of gas on their surfaces. While stars are known to appear to twinkle due to the bending of starlight as it travels through Earth's atmosphere, this new study focused on the natural "twinkling"…
