Binary star revolving arround center of mass

AI Thread Summary
Binary stars revolve around their common center of mass due to gravitational interactions, with their motion being relative to each other rather than an absolute frame of reference. The discussion raises the question of whether Type II supernovae could produce a stellar wind post-explosion, suggesting that traditional definitions of stellar winds may not apply in this context. It is noted that neutron stars or black holes formed from these supernovae do not generate stellar winds in the conventional sense. The complexities of stellar dynamics and the aftermath of supernovae highlight the unique behaviors of these astronomical phenomena. Understanding these interactions is crucial for comprehending the lifecycle of stars and their remnants.

why the binary star revolving around center of mass ?
could type 2 supernova ever had a stellar wind after explosion ?

Since there is no such thing as absolute motion, the binary star motion concerns these stars relative to each other.

From the neutron star/black hole? Not in the traditional sense of what a stellar wind is.
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
