As the collapsed core of a massive star, a neutron star is a small but incredibly dense object, packing up to three times the mass of our sun into a small volume. Models predict that neutron stars are ...

Intense gravitational lensing means you’d be able to see much more of a neutron star standing on its surface than you would ...

Astronomers have discovered the slowest spinning radio wave-blasting neutron star ever seen; it takes almost an hour to complete a full rotation. This ultra-leisurely neutron star, however, designated ...

We take a journey to the center of a neutron star, a place where matter exists in states. We’ve traveled to lots of weird places on this show - from the interiors of black holes to the time before the ...

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of ...

The lightest neutron star ever found, at around 0.77 times the mass of the sun, no longer fits with our understanding of how these stars form. It might even contain exotic matter like strange quarks.

It's not science fiction: Scientists have discovered a neutron star that spins faster than any blender humans have ever made. In a recently published study, scientists discovered that the 4U 1820-30 ...
