"What is remarkable is that the time between pulse pairs seems to follow a choreographed pattern." Using the world's most ...

“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 ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has found the best evidence yet for emission from a neutron star at the site of a recently observed supernova. The supernova, known as SN 1987A, was a core ...

Gamma rays emerging from neutron stars at the hearts of supernova explosions could solve the mystery of dark matter — in just 10 seconds. That is, if dark matter is composed of axions, ...

An unusual star system created more of a fizz and less of a bang when it exploded in a supernova. The “ultra-stripped” supernova led researchers to discover the two stars 11,000 light-years ...

“From theoretical models of SN 1987A, the 10-second burst of neutrinos observed just before the supernova implied that a neutron star or black hole was formed in the explosion.

Astronomers have long suspected a city-sized neutron star hides within the dusty shroud of SN 1987A. And now, they’re closer than ever to proving their case.

Astronomers have found evidence that a neutron star exists at the centre of the only exploding star – supernova – visible to the naked eye in the last 400 years, solving a 30-year-old mystery.

That can lead to some bizarre situations, like a star that replaces its core with a neutron star. Now, researchers say they have probably found a more violent alternative to that merger.
