The study, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, focuses on red dwarf superflares and the radiation they emit. These flares emit a great amount of X-rays and ultraviolet ...

Violent outbursts of seething gas from young red dwarf stars may make conditions uninhabitable on fledgling planets. In this artist's rendering, an active, young red dwarf (right) is stripping the ...

Scientists once believed that superflares were fairly sparse ... hoping they would offer a peek at how our own yellow dwarf might behave in the future. First, they identified 56,450 stars whose ...

Northwestern University scientists have detected the first radio pulses that can be traced to a dead-star binary.

The TRAPPIST-1 system is a science-fiction writer's dream. Seven Earth-sized worlds orbit a red dwarf star just 40 light-years away. Three of those worlds are within the habitable zone of the star.

An international team of astronomers led by scientists from the Netherlands has shown that a white dwarf and a red dwarf orbiting each other every two hours are emitting radio pulses. Thanks to ...
