Just a sugar cube of neutron star matter would weigh about one hundred million tons on Earth. A neutron star's almost incomprehensible density causes protons and electrons to combine into neutrons ...

That's because astronomers have discovered that this magnetar, which is a special type of highly magnetic neutron star, wasn't actually born in a nearby supernova as previously theorized.

From conformal field theory, it had previously been suggested that the speed of sound in a neutron star, traveling as ...

Such explorations have the potential to challenge our current approaches to studying nuclear matter, with important ... what is happening inside a neutron star. This helps test and validate ...

a supernova will leave behind either a neutron star or a black hole. A black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area. A black hole is ...

This composite image shows RCW 103 and its central source, called 1E 161348-5055 (1E 1613), exhibiting properties of a highly magnetized neutron star, or magnetar, yet its deduced spin period is ...
