star system

"Our new discovery lies far off the Galactic Plane, so there are only a handful of stars nearby, and we're now certain one star system, in particular, is generating the radio waves."

Their study of an unusual binary star system has resulted in convincing evidence that massive stars can completely collapse and become black holes without a supernova explosion.

The researchers have analysed the observational data for a range of signs that would be expected from a star system having undergone a supernova-explosion in the past.

She expects that the star system will be important for studying stellar evolution and collapse.

Similarly, the symmetry of a star system's orbit usually show signs that it has felt the impact of a violent supernova explosion, because of the ejection of matter that happens.
