Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...

Neutron stars are massive gravitational monsters, and orbiting one wouldn't end up well for our planet. But what if we took ...

"Measuring the properties of neutron-star matter is indeed very hard and this is because while we can measure the mass of a neutron star very accurately, it is very hard to measure its radius ...

The collision of two neutron stars around 130 million light-years from Earth, and the unique physics this merger created, may have shed new light on dark matter. Axions have never been directly ...

Scientists report a possible pulsar at the Milky Way’s center, discovered through radio observations by the Breakthrough Listen team using the Green Bank Telescope, offering a new laboratory for ...

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a ...

The oscillating frequencies of two short gamma-ray bursts are the best evidence yet for the formation of 'impossible' hypermassive neutron stars that can briefly defy gravity before collapsing to form ...

Ever since neutron stars were discovered, researchers have been using their unusual properties to probe our universe. The superdense remnants of stellar explosions, neutron stars pack a mass greater ...

It isn’t a secret that humanity and everything around us is made of star stuff. But not all stars create elements equally. Sure, regular stars can create the basic elements: helium, carbon, neon, ...

Astrophysicists modeling the insides of neutron stars have found that the extremely compact objects have different internal structures, depending on their mass. They suggest thinking of the stars as ...
