Astronomers have confirmed that Betelgeuse has a hidden companion star, Siwarha, which creates a dense gas wake as it moves through the star's atmosphere, explaining long-standing variability and behavior changes in this red supergiant, with future observations planned for 2027.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope observations suggest Betelgeuse has a hidden companion star named Siwarha, which influences its brightness variations and may help explain its dimming behavior, providing insights into the star's evolution and potential supernova event.
Astronomers have potentially discovered a hidden companion star, named Siwarha, orbiting Betelgeuse, which may explain its six-year brightness cycle and recent dimming events, shedding new light on the star's behavior and evolution.
Astronomers have potentially discovered a hidden companion star, named Siwarha, orbiting Betelgeuse, which may explain its six-year brightness cycle and other mysteries, marking a significant breakthrough in stellar observation.
Astronomers have confirmed that Betelgeuse likely has a faint, young companion star named Siwarha, which may explain its regular six-year brightness pattern; the discovery was made using high-speed imaging with the Gemini North telescope, though confirmation is still pending.
NASA scientists confirmed a long-hypothesized close companion star to Betelgeuse using advanced ground-based imaging, providing new insights into the star's behavior and periodic brightness changes, with plans for further observation in 2027.
Astronomers using the Gemini North telescope's 'Alopeke instrument have directly detected a close-in blue-white companion star orbiting Betelgeuse, explaining its six-year brightness variability and providing new insights into the life and future death of this red supergiant star.
Radio observations of the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1953+1844 (M71E) show it to have an orbital period of 53.3 minutes and a companion with a mass of ~0.07 M⊙. It is a faint X-ray source and located 2.5 arcminutes from the center of the globular cluster M71. This discovery suggests the existence of a population of millisecond pulsars with moderate mass companions and very short orbital periods.
