In a recent study, researchers used neutron star observations to infer the properties of quark matter at even higher densities where it is certain to be a color superconductor. This yields the ...

A breakthrough simulation reveals how magnetars form and evolve, solving a key mystery about their magnetic origins.

Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe. They are the core of a collapsed megastar that went supernova, ...

Astronomers discovered a mysterious 2-hour radio pulse from a hidden white dwarf system, revealing a new type of stellar duo ...

A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other emitting radio pulses every two hours. Their findings means we know it isn't just neutron stars that emit such ...

In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly ...

An international research team, including the University of Geneva (UNIGE), has for the first time used numerical simulations ...
