New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...

Scientists have uncovered the long-sought mechanism behind low-field magnetars, showing that supernova fallback material ...

Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still produce bursts.

An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.

The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is revealed in an unusual light in this exceptionally deep Chandra X-ray ...

Astronomers discover an unusual neutron star that emits double pulses, challenging theories about stellar remnants.

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.

Astronomers still can’t entirely account for the explosive power of a supernova. “It was thought that this rebounding shock that’s produced when the neutron star forms could explode the star ...

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." Out in the universe lie dead stellar remnants ...
