Insights gained by scientists while studying the R Doradus giant star could be applicable to other dying stars.

What can planets orbiting red dwarf stars teach scientists about planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recently submitted study hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

This artist’s impression shows a sunset seen from the super-Earth Gliese 667 Cc. Astronomers have estimated that there are tens of billions of such rocky worlds orbiting faint red dwarf stars in the ...

Figure1: Infrared image showing the directly imaged brown dwarf companion J1446B (dot indicated by the arrow). The central red dwarf (J1446) is masked in white during image processing. The scale bar ...

Five exoplanets orbit the red dwarf star L 98-59, about 35 light-years away. In the foreground is a newly discovered super Earth, known as L 98-59 f. Credit: Benoit Gougeon / Université de Montréal ...

A first ever detection of a coronal mass ejection from a small red dwarf could have big consequences for life on any nearby planets. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates.

How many Earth-like exoplanets orbit M dwarf stars (Red dwarf stars), which are smaller and cooler than our Sun? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as ...

The future of yellow dwarf stars, like our sun, is determined almost entirely by their mass. The most massive stars, about eight to 12 times heftier than the sun, can explode as supernovae, leading to ...

A first ever detection of a coronal mass ejection from a small red dwarf could have big consequences for life on any nearby planets. On Earth, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) like the one we experienced ...
