Type 1a supernova destroys the white dwarfs or do they collapse into a much denser neutron stars? Does supernovas goes off simultaneously for those double star? 🤔

Scientists uncovered a #binarystar system close to #blackhole near center of #MilkyWay, confirming a hypothesis made by happenstance nearly a century ago, according to a paper published in Nature Communications. Scientists previously predicted the existence of a binary #star system -- one in which two stars are gravitationally bound to one another around a common center of gravity -- in the vicinity of the black hole at the center of the galaxy, called #SagittariusA*.

Oh. It's brightening..!? This is within normal ranges for it, however. Guess we'll see...

(Still dim, but it was magnitude 11.1 a week or two ago. Fingers crossed 🤞)

"However, that assumes the long pulsation cycle is internal. If it’s actually due to a second star, then Betelgeuse is likely still fusing helium in its core, which means it has a lot longer left to go before it detonates, over a hundred thousand years. If you’re waiting for it to explode, and this second star turns out to be real, well then you’d better pack a lunch. It’ll be a while."

Once in a lifetime: The faint #binarystar T CrB will be visible as the 8th star in the #NorthernCrown for a few days during its 80-year periodic #Nova event sometime this summer. Who's waiting with us?

A mosaic of star charts: right panel: night sky above Göttingen showing the Northern Crown constellation in the center and its environment, left panel: Telescope view. More zoomed-in previews in the lower side of the right panel. The stars are shown as pattern of white dots on a black background, annotationas are in white, panel boundariers are in red.

> The binary star system in the constellation Corona Borealis — “northern crown” — is normally too dim to see with the naked eye.
>
> But every 80 years or so, exchanges between its two stars, which are locked in a deadly embrace, spark a runaway nuclear explosion.

#Yale 📆 February 22, 2024 During some seasons of the year, it would be daytime continuously, with one star lighting up one side of the planet 🪐, while the other star was lighting the other half of the planet. But that sunlight ☀️ would not always be blazing hot, because one of the stars would be much farther away.

In other seasons of the year, both #suns would light up the same side of the planet, with one sun appearing much larger than the other. https://news.yale.edu/2024/02/22/new-beginning-search-more-temperate-tatooines

#Astronomy question: what's the furthest separation distance on record for #binarystar pairs?

Though it was released at the same time as much more adventurous albums such as Tragic Epilogue or The Taste Of Rain..., the favorite of the year 2000 in the underground, was this record from Binary Star.

A circumbinary planet is a planet that orbits two stars instead of one.

Helium-burning white dwarf:
Using #ESA_XMM and #eROSITA #spacetelescope, a team lead by #MPE researchers discovered a #binarystar🌟🌟, where material flows onto a #WhiteDwarf, but instead of #hydrogen, the material is #helium, making it the first helium-burning white dwarf ever discovered!

Artist's impression of a supersoft X-ray source: the accretion disk around a white dwarf star is made mainly of helium.

Scholz's Star (WISE designation WISE 0720−0846) is a dim binary stellar system 22 light-years (6.8 parsecs) from the Sun, that passed through the Solar System's Oort cloud roughly 70,000 years ago.

This is awesome.
This scifi writer has created a sundial for a hypothetical planet in a binary star system. Top notch worldbuilding.

An illustration of an inverted white dome held up on 3 curved legs. On the inside of the bowl of the dome is a grid 4 squares high and about 20 squares across. The 20 vertical lines are numbered with dots and the 5 horizontal lines are colored red, black, green, black, blue. Two long sticks are set in an x across the mouth of the bowl so that the light from the two suns casts four lines into the bowl. The intersecting shadow lines fall on the vertical line dotted with the hour.
