New approach could aid “multi-messenger” astronomy by quickly locating sources of gravitational waves emitted during these ...

Neutron stars, therefore, have densities comparable ... the strong force that holds nuclear matter together in the standard model of particle physics. Rapid, precise information from gravitational ...

(All pulsars are neutron stars, but not all neutron stars are pulsars). Assuming a mass of about 1.4 solar masses, and knowing that protons are about 10% of a neutron star's baryonic content, this ...

Black holes may not be as life-destroying as we thought. A surprising study reveals that the powerful radiation from active ...

At the center of most large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, sits a supermassive black hole. Interstellar gas ...

Although black hole radiation can be catastrophic in some cases, it may assist life once oxygen has accumulated in the planet ...

A surprising new study from Dartmouth and the University of Exeter researchers shows that when the supermassive black holes at the center of most large galaxies—including the Milky Way—consume ...

When massive stars explode as supernovae, they can leave behind neutron stars. Other than black holes, these are the densest ...

At the center of most large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, sits a supermassive black hole. Interstellar gas periodically falls into the orbit ...

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly ...

Strings of photodetectors anchored to the seabed off the coast of Sicily have detected the most energetic neutrino ever ...
