A nearby star is the fastest-rotating one that astronomers have seen so far, at a latitude of about 40 degrees. The rotation rate of the V889 Herculis is significantly different from that of the Sun ...

V889 Herculis doesn't rotate like any other star, defying stellar models. A nearby star that's similar to the sun in many ways is actually an unprecedented oddball, astronomers have discovered ...

Astronomers from the University of Helsinki have found that the rotational profile of a nearby star, V889 Herculis, differs considerably from that of the Sun. The observation provides insights into ...

14 Herculis c one of at least two gas giants – both significantly bigger than Jupiter – that have been observed orbiting a central star in an X-like pattern. Among the nearly 6,000 exoplanets ...

The target stars V889 Herculis and LQ Hydrae are both roughly 50-million-year-old stars that in many respects resemble the young sun. They both rotate very rapidly, with rotation periods of only ...
