From tracking a rare interstellar visitor to revealing hidden star systems, the SETI Institute is at the forefront of space science. Explore four recent stories showcasing our role in groundbreaking ...

Even with eclipsing binaries, measuring the properties of stars is no easy task. Stars are deformed as they rotate and pull ...

Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA), a six-telescope interferometer, excels at ...

These systems are called eclipsing binary stars. By taking measurements from an eclipsing binary star system, astronomers can measure the radii of the stars.

It takes a supercomputer weeks to output the properties of one stellar binary. A new study shows AI can do it in a fraction of the time.

This reduction means we can obtain fundamental properties – stellar masses, radii, temperatures and luminosities – for every eclipsing binary star ever observed within a month or two.
