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

Measuring the size of neutron stars and how they deform during mergers tells us their pressure and confirms that neutron stars are indeed the densest visible matter in the universe. In a recent ...

The team used advanced numerical simulations to model the magneto-thermal evolution of these stars, finding that a specific dynamo process within the proto-neutron star can generate these weaker ...

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.

Neutron stars are one of the most extreme objects ... That's the message from the team behind one of the world's biggest science projects being built in remote Australia. All of the long ...

"The detection of this signal has the potential to reveal what neutron stars are made of." Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves ...

Neutron stars are among the densest objects in the universe. Their crust is far stronger than any material on Earth and a spoonful of this matter is heavier than a mountain. Talking about ...

When some of the biggest stars reach the end of their lives, they explode in spectacular supernovas and leave behind ...

Neutron stars are some of the densest stellar objects in the universe. Scientists have theorized that the core’s extreme density might allow for the presence of deconfined quark matter.

When a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses, it triggers what's known as a supernova - one of the largest explosions ... collapsed remnants are known as neutron stars.

The team used advanced numerical simulations to model the magneto-thermal evolution of these stars, finding that a specific dynamo process within the proto-neutron star can generate these weaker ...

When supermassive stars reach the end of their lives and explode in a supernova, the remnants form a super-dense object called a neutron star. Pulsars are neutron stars that spin rapidly ...
