A microquasar belonging to our Milky Way galaxy has set records by generating cosmic rays with energy levels never before ...

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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 ...

Officially unveiled today in a new research paper, the model deals with the lightest known neutron star, located 4000 lightyears from Earth, measuring just 24 kilometres wide but weighing 1.174 times ...

X-rays coming from a nearby galaxy made it hard to accurately model the hot spots on the neutron star’s surface. Fortunately, we were able to use radio waves to find an independent measurement ...
