T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), also known as the Blaze Star, is a binary star system located 3,000 light-years from Earth. It ...

an accretion disk can be like a countdown to a large electromagnetic reaction. In their study of 1ES, the scientists calculated out a simulation, and in running it, found that a white dwarf star ...

The nearby T Coronae Borealis system could still explode any day now, but calculations suggest the next best chance for fireworks is later this year.

Researchers conducted the first-ever near-infrared analysis of an extragalactic recurrent nova and found it is one of the ...

T Corona Borealis (T CrB) is a captivating symbiotic binary system consisting of a white dwarf and a red giant star. The white dwarf, a compact remnant of a sun-like star, possesses a mass equal to ...

Given that in CVs, mass transfer from the companion star often occurs through an accretion disk around the white dwarf and in some cases thermal instability in the disk triggers an outburst known ...

T CrB is located in the constellation of Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, which is currently visible in the night sky ...

Its distended atmosphere then becomes easy prey to the gravity of the far smaller, but denser, white dwarf. Material captured from the red giant forms a spiraling disk around the white dwarf ...
