- "Black holes can drive binary [stars] to merge more quickly than they would anywhere else in our galaxy... if you put very close binaries near a black hole, it turns out to induce what’s known as a three-body interaction, and the binary can merge." https://www.quantamagazine.org/andrea-ghez-takes-aim-at-einstein-20170727/ 3 comments space
- Gamma-ray bursts are the universe's brightest explosions (producing as much energy in seconds as the Sun produces in its lifetime). And a new study shows that being in a binary star system is required to keep a massive star spinning fast enough to produce such powerful explosions. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2020/01/binary-stars-may-be-an-explanation-for-powerful-gamma-ray-bursts 3 comments science

- Astronomers spot a hypervelocity white dwarf zooming through the Milky Way at 5 million miles per hour. According to the new study, the speeding star was likely ejected from a binary system when its companion exploded as a supernova. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2018/05/snapshot-second-gaia-release-results-so-far 155 comments worldnews
- Astronomers have captured the first image of a binary star that lived through its companion going supernova. The surviving star — photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope — likely caused the explosion by stealing its partner's outer envelope, which helps wick away excess energy from the core. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2018/04/first-image-of-a-surviving-supernova-companion 6 comments science

- Einstein’s theory and ‘bent light’ reveal a way to weigh stars for first time. The scientists pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at a nearby binary star phenomenon called gravitational microlensing. That’s when gravity from a closer star slightly bends the light coming from a more distant star. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/einsteins-theory-bent-light-reveal-way-weigh-stars-first-time/ 21 comments science
