Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars after a supernova, are among the densest and most fascinating objects in the ...

Neutron collisions are cosmic events of immense power that have the ability to forge some of the universe’s most precious ...

In those 1.5 seconds, the neutron stars orbit each other five times, losing orbital energy in the form of gravitational waves.

Today, let's talk about a major news item in the field of astronomy regarding the new discovery of neutron star mass distribution. This is quite significant and may overturn our previous understanding ...

A new simulation by researchers shows how a neutron star violently cracks seconds before vanishing into a black hole.

Neutron stars—the dense remnants of massive stellar explosions—and their presence in X‐ray binaries serve as natural laboratories for extreme physics. In these systems, matter is transferred ...

Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion, formed via common envelope evolution. Although such ...

A massive neutron star discovered weighs more than 2 times the mass of our sun, but is only 18 miles wide.

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.

A bright flash of radio waves from 3 billion years after the big bang is illuminating parts of the universe that astronomers ...

A rapidly spinning neutron star orbits a smaller, helium-rich star very closely. This unique pair formed when a larger star exploded, leaving behind the neutron star which then interacted with its ...

A cosmic marvel resembling a giant hand has captured the attention of scientists. This hand-shaped nebula, MSH 15-52, ...
