In a recent study, researchers used neutron star observations to infer the properties of quark matter at even higher densities where it is certain to be a color superconductor.

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

A computer simulation shows how two neutron stars of unequal mass merge, form a black hole and spit out a jet of high energy matter.

A neutron star is the collapsed core of a massive star that has gone supernova, and can contain up to nearly three times the mass of our sun in a spherical volume just about 6.8 miles ...

Two neutron stars moving at 100 million meters per second rammed into one another in space. In what experts called a “cosmic car crash,” the stars merged and collapsed to form a black hole ...

This color evolution is a telltale signature of a kilonova, and kilonovae can only come from neutron star mergers.” Kilonovas are rare, ...
