The Crab Nebula is an example of a supernova remnant. The orange filaments are the tattered remains of the star and consist mostly of hydrogen. The rapidly spinning neutron star embedded in the center ...

The mission, later renamed Fermi, was launched in 2008 and continues to produce significant insights in topics ranging from neutron stars and black holes ... rapid particle acceleration phenomena in ...

The Veil Nebula is roughly 2,400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It is the remnants of a star that was roughly ... observers to observe M1 the Crab Nebula and C39 the Clown Nebula.

Like any substance, neutron stars have an equation of state, or more precisely a phase diagram, such as that for water. The properties of a neutron star are determined by quantum chromodynamics ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has probed deep into the dusty shroud of a young nebula alight with star formation on the hunt for "failed star" brown dwarfs. Brown dwarfs are stellar ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars are when they are born. An international team of astronomers led by ...

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 ...
