Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into ...

this companion star is also massive enough to create a neutron star, and it isn't "kicked away" by the supernova explosion ...

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

A newly detected cosmic explosion, EP240408a, could be the result of a white dwarf's death, creating a high-speed jet. It ...

The event is designated EP240408a, as it was first detected by the Einstein Probe, an X-ray space telescope, on 8 April 2024.

“It was thought that this rebounding shock that’s produced when the neutron star forms could explode the star,” Milisavljevic says. “But decades of simulations on the world’s fastest ...

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

Neutron stars are one of the most extreme objects in the Universe. These small, dense stars are created when the core of a supermassive star collapses and triggers a fiery explosion known as a ...

Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars after a supernova explosion, have often been the focus of studies aimed at testing and unveiling exotic physics. This is because these stars are among ...

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 ...
