HD 281229 reveals how a very young star rotates

Young star HD 281229, in the Perseus Molecular Cloud, shows a repeating pattern in its gravity-driven pulsations. The pattern makes it possible to probe the star’s interior and estimate how quickly its central regions rotate. It is the youngest sta...

Stellar obliquity in Sun-like stars remains stable throughout planetary system development

Published: yesterday

New research into the alignment of planetary systems shows that the angle between a star's rotation and its planets' orbits, known as stellar obliquity, is largely set at the moment of birth. By comparing 114 Sun-like stars of different ages and type...

About Stellar Catalog

Working with real data

Data in Stellar Catalog come from trusted scientific sources. Primary source is Gaia space telescope mapping the stars in Milky Way. Other sources include research papers, Simbad catalog and Exoplanet.eu database.

Estimated values

Objects listed in the Stellar Catalog often have values that are estimates. These estimates are determined using their known characteristics, such as spectral type, brightness across different wavelengths, distance from a star, and other factors.

Fresh and validated

Stellar Catalog is continuously updated with new information from research papers. Stellar and planetary data are validated by automatic processes as well as humans.
