Colliding neutron stars were touted as the main source of some of the heaviest elements in the Periodic Table. Now, not so much … Neutron…
In atomic nuclei, protons and neutrons share energy and momentum in tight quarters. But exactly how they share the energy that keeps them bound within…
Imagine that the size of a bacterium is measured from a distance of about 4500 light-years. This would be an incredible measurement, considering that a…
An important breakthrough in how we can understand dead star collisions and the expansion of the Universe has been made by an international team, led…
On March 12th, 2020, a space telescope called Swift, detected a burst of radiation from half-way across the Milky Way. Within a week, the newly…
Object lies between heaviest known neutron star and lightest known black hole. An international research collaboration, including Northwestern University astronomers, has detected a mystery object…
Astronomers tend to have a slightly different sense of time than the rest of us. They regularly study events that happened millions or billions of…
A Finnish research group has found strong evidence for the presence of exotic quark matter inside the cores of the largest neutron stars in existence….
Gravitational-wave researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a new model that promises to yield fresh insights into the structure and composition of neutron…
A new collaborative study with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) reveals a possible collision of two neutron stars earlier in…
International team uses a novel approach combining gravitational-wave observations, multi-messenger astronomy, and nuclear physics to obtain the best measurement of neutron star size to date….
Scientists with the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) team presented their new results on black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries during a press conference…
Second fastest spinning radio pulsar known is a gamma-ray pulsar, too. Multi-messenger observations look closely at the system and raise new questions. An international research…
Astronomers using the GBT have discovered the most massive neutron star to date, a rapidly spinning pulsar approximately 4,600 light-years from Earth. This record-breaking object…
Afterglow sheds light on the nature, origin of neutron star collisions, as researchers use Hubble to capture deepest optical image of first neutron star merger….
Scientists, including those from The Australian National University (ANU), say they have detected a black hole swallowing a neutron star for the first time. “About…
In a paper published today scientists have studied the Vela Pulsar, a neutron star in the southern sky, that is 1,000 light years away. Neutron…
