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 stars. The model shows ...

Neutron stars, these cosmic remnants resulting from the catastrophic explosion of massive stars, represent one of the most ...

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 ...

"More than half a century has passed since the discovery of neutron stars, but the mechanism of why glitches happen is not yet understood." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Neutron star mergers are a treasure trove for new physics signals, with implications for determining the true nature of dark matter, according to physicists. Neutron star mergers are a treasure trove ...

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

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a ...
