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 ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for ...

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.

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

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Binary neutron star mergers emit gravitational waves followed by light. To fully exploit these observations and avoid missing key signals, speed is crucial. An interdisciplinary team of ...
