Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

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 ...

A distant neutron star has abruptly erupted in brightness, surging to roughly one hundred times its usual output and leaving ...

A new study showing how the explosion of a stripped massive star in a supernova can lead to the formation of a heavy neutron star or a light black hole resolves one of the most challenging puzzles to ...

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 ...

Describing matter under extreme conditions, such as those found inside neutron stars, remains an unsolved problem. The ...

Sep. 12—In the cosmic tug-of-war between matter and antimatter, matter has the upper hand. Our universe leans more heavily on the side of matter. In a one-to-one ratio, matter and antimatter would ...

A double blast of dying stars may be the first observed case of a long-hypothesized, never proven “superkilonova.” Although ...

The cosmos has delivered a rare kind of fireworks display, and astronomers are racing to understand what it means. A strange double flash from a distant galaxy appears to show two neutron stars ...

A new study says the cataclysmic event of two neutron stars colliding may also have solved the mystery of why there are so many heavy elements in the universe. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window ...
