An international team of scientists led by McGill University researchers has provided the clearest evidence yet that some fast radio bursts (FRBs)—enigmatic, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves ...

The study of 'starquakes' (like earthquakes, but in stars) promises to give us important new insights into the properties of ...

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

Australian scientists have discovered a collapsed star called a neutron star that spins thousands of times slower than expected. The star, called ASKAP J1839-075, is one of a number of recent ...

Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt have identified a new way to probe the interior of neutron stars using gravitational waves from their collisions. By analyzing the "long ringdown" phase ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." An extremely slow pulsar has made scientists “slow down” their assumptions about other pulsars. The pace ...

Here on our planet, earthquakes are a fairly common experience for many. It appears that similar “quakes” also rock other ...

While neutron stars typically rotate in milliseconds or seconds, ASKAP J1839-075 takes an astonishing 6.45 hours to complete ...

Neutron star "mountains" would be much more massive than any on Earth—so massive that gravity just from these mountains could produce small oscillations, or ripples, in the fabric of space and time.

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

Radio Star Astronomers say they've detected a mysterious type of signal known as a fast radio burst coming from a dead galaxy ...
