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

The team suggests that if there are small mountains on pulsars, China’s FAST (Five- hundred-meter Aperture Spherical ...

For astrophysicists, neutron stars stand out as objects of irresistible fascination — perhaps, in part, because of how difficult they are to decipher. But calculations conducted on the Frontier ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

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.

Advanced supercomputer simulations show that as a black hole consumes a neutron star, intense gravitational forces crack the neutron star’s crust, generating Alfvén waves and radio bursts.

Binary neutron star mergers, cosmic collisions between two very dense stellar remnants made up predominantly of neutrons, have been the topic of numerous astrophysics studies due to their fascinating ...

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have instead ...

Chinese astronomers have observed an X-ray binary system designated IGR J19294+1816. As a result, they discovered multiple X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations in this source. The finding was reported in ...

Study reveals that high-energy cosmic rays are born in magnetic fields during neutron star mergers, a prelude to black holes.

A new set of simulations offers an unparalleled look at the dramatic collision between a black hole and a neutron star, revealing the violent forces that take place just before the star is consumed.

Ancient supernovas may have blasted Earth with powerful radiation, causing dramatic changes in our climate, and could do so ...
