Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

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 ...

The catastrophic collision of a black hole and a neutron star sent ripples across the universe. New analysis of those ripples could upend a major theory about how these extreme pairs form. When you ...

Scientists have uncovered the first robust evidence of a black hole and neutron star crashing together but orbiting in an ...

A new theoretical framework shows that tidal forces in inspiraling neutron star pairs can be described through oscillation modes, opening a new path to studying ultra-dense matter using gravitational ...

Illustration of the new method: the researchers use five-dimensional black holes (right) to calculate the phase diagram of strongly coupled matter (middle), enabling simulations of neutron star ...

Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned ...

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used Frontier to chart the isospin density of a neutron star over a range of conditions. This illustration depicts isospin-dense ...

Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...
