ABSTRACT A stellar spectral flux library of wide spectral coverage and an example of its application are presented. The new library consists of 131 flux‐calibrated spectra, encompassing all normal ...

When we think of exoplanets that may be able to support life, we home in on the habitable zone. A habitable zone is a region around a star where planets receive enough stellar energy to have ...

Over the 4 year period of the nominal Kepler mission (Borucki et al. 2010), the star underwent several dimming events of variable depth and duration, ranging from approximately 0.5 − 20% reduction in ...

These newly discovered discharges of magnetic flux, or 'sneezes' as the researchers describes them, ... a stellar nursery located approximately 450 light-years from earth.

These 'sneezes' release the magnetic flux within the protostellar disc. Astronomers have discovered a new phenomenon in baby stars: powerful expulsions of gas, dust, and magnetic energy, nicknamed ...

Spikes of magnetic flux, gas, and dust in blue. Researchers found that the protostellar disk will expel magnetic flux, ... This stellar nursery is about 450 light-years away from Earth.
