Neutron stars are very small and dense stars, where roughly half a million earth masses of material are squeezed into a city-sized volume with a radius of 10 km. They are mostly composed of ...

By measuring these oscillations, scientists can infer details about neutron star structure and test χEFT predictions at high densities.

Visualization of very light neutron star, made by the explosion of a 9.9 solar mass star, is still surrounded by neutrino-heated material ejected from its hot surface region. The structure shown ...

In the aftermath of a collision of neutron stars, a new celestial object called a remnant emerges, shrouded in mystery. Scientists are still unraveling its secrets, including whether it collapses ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...
