University of Notre Dame astronomer Peter Garnavich and a team of collaborators have discovered a distant star that exploded when its center became so hot that matter and anti-matter particle pairs were created. The star, dubbed Y-155, began its life around 200 times the mass of the sun but probabl...

IK Pegasi (or HR 8210) is a binary star system in the constellation Pegasus. At a distance of about 150 light years from the Solar System, it is just luminous enough to be seen with the unaided eye. The primary (IK Pegasi A) is a main sequence, A-class star that displays minor pulsations in luminosity. I...
