New research suggests that scientists could now come closer to a conclusion about the mechanism responsible for the speeds of the steady jets launched from a neutron star, reported Space.com.

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 ...

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 ...

An international team, including UNIGE, has reproduced for the first time the formation and evolution of a magnetar.

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.

The explosion released elements heavier than iron—like gold and platinum—through a process known as rapid neutron capture ...

Binary neutron star mergers occur millions of light-years away from Earth. Interpreting the gravitational waves they produce presents a major challenge for traditional data-analysis methods.

More massive stars than the Sun have a very different life cycle and follow the right hand path in the diagram above: \({Nebula}\rightarrow{protostar}\rightarrow{main~sequence~star}\rightarrow{red ...

The explosion of a supernova can fling gas across hundreds of light-years, enriching the star-forming clouds of the interstellar medium with elements like oxygen and sodium," ESA officials said in ...
