Chilean researcher Bárbara Rojas-Ayala found a way to measure the "metallicity" of M dwarf (red dwarf) stars which in turn could help science to better understand how planets, stars and galaxies form.

They’re the most common star in the universe. We know of hundreds of rocky exoplanets orbiting them. And as a result, red dwarf stars are prime targets for scientists’ ongoing search for life in the ...

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, along with other telescopes on the ground and in space, have discovered a new type of exotic binary star: in the system AR Scorpii a rapidly ...
