Introduction to the formation of planetary systems
For most of human history, the existence of planets beyond our Solar System was merely a subject of speculation. Today we know thousands of exoplanets, and increasingly powerful observational instruments...

Binary star systems and unusual phenomena
Mass transfer, nova explosions, Type Ia supernovae, and gravitational wave sources in multiple star systems Most stars in the Universe do not evolve alone – they live in binary or...

Starry black holes
The final stage of the largest massive stars, where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape Among the most dramatic ends of stellar evolution, none is more...

Magnetars: Extreme magnetic fields
A rare type of neutron star with extremely strong magnetic fields, causing intense "starquakes" Neutron stars, already the densest known stellar remnants (except for black holes), can have magnetic fields...

Neutron stars and pulsars
Dense, rapidly spinning remnants formed after certain supernova explosions, emitting beams of radiation Kai masyvios žvaigždės pasiekia savo gyvenimo pabaigą per branduolio griūvimo supernovą, jų branduoliai gali susitraukti iki itin...
