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 ...
Astronomers have proposed a model explaining the nature of the unusual afterglow when neutron stars merge to form exotic dust from heavy elements. The results of the study by a group led by Nanae ...
A new study has found that the process of heavy metal formation in neutron star mergers proceeds more slowly than previously ...
An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe. The team used advanced numerical simulations to model the magneto-thermal ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An illustration of two ice-blue orbs smashing together, surrounded by warm reddish dust and gas. The collision of two neutron ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. By developing a new theoretical relation describing just how compact neutron stars — which are the remnants of massive stars that ...
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 ...
Sometimes astronomers come across objects in the sky that we can't easily explain. In our new research, published in Science, we report such a discovery, which is likely to spark discussion and ...
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 ...
A magnetar is the collapsed core of a massive star, compressed into a sphere roughly the size of a city and threaded by an ...
Volume rendering of density in a simulation of a binary neutron star merger. New research shows that neutrinos created in the hot interface between the merging stars can be briefly trapped and remain ...
Most ordinary matter is held together by an invisible subatomic glue known as the strong nuclear force — one of the four fundamental forces in nature, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the ...
