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.

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.

A computer simulation shows how two neutron stars of unequal mass merge, form a black hole and spit out a jet of high energy matter.

It wasn’t until the 1960s that Zwicky and Baade’s hypothetical neutron stars were finally detected. Radio astronomer Jocelyn Bell Burnell noticed a strange, regularly pulsed radio wave signal ...

Two neutron stars moving at 100 million meters per second rammed into one another in space. In what experts called a “cosmic car crash,” the stars merged and collapsed to form a black hole ...

This color evolution is a telltale signature of a kilonova, and kilonovae can only come from neutron star mergers.” Kilonovas are rare, ...

“There is no other object like the neutron star in Supernova 1987A, so close to us and having formed so recently. Because the material surrounding it is expanding, we will see more of it as time ...
