It’s hard to predict when the star system will explode since its eruptions haven’t been observed that many times. Astronomers have been observing the Blaze Star, and found that it has spent ...

A cosmic enigma, ASKAP J1839-0756, a slow-spinning neutron star discovered using the ASKAP radio telescope, is challenging ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured a weak r-process reaction using a radioactive ion beam, shedding light ...

was predicted to explode in a thermonuclear eruption between April and September 2024. For sky-watchers, the failure of the star to suddenly become visible to the naked eye during winter — for ...

A supernova is a cataclysmic stellar death that leaves behind a black hole or neutron star. It is the biggest, brightest, and most violent type of explosion scientists have observed in the universe.

Will the Blaze Star finally explode tonight? Jean Schneider of the Paris Observatory made a key prediction in the Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society back in October 2024.

T Corona Borealis is located in the "Northern Crown" constellation, approximately 3,000 light-years away. A faint star in a constellation visible from the Northern Hemisphere after dark may ...

Scientists have announced that a dim star in a constellation easily visible after dark from the Northern Hemisphere may be on the verge of exploding. The binary star system, called T Corona ...

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

Simulations indicate that the low-mass star in the J0453+1559 binary system could be a neutron star rather than a white dwarf. The star's mass, 1.174 M ⊙ , is unusually low for a neutron star.

Researchers have observed only a handful of neutron-star mergers, and only on one occasion — the 2017 event — has the merger also been seen by non-gravitational-wave observatories such as ...
