Neutron stars are very small and dense stars, where roughly half a million earth masses of material are squeezed into a city-sized volume with a radius of 10 km.

There's about to be a new star in the sky, but this nova won't be here for long, and won't be coming back for a very long ...

By observing when neutron stars merge in space ... radiation hydrodynamics to understand the internal structure of these neutron star merger remnants. They also studied how the remnant cools ...

"We zeroed in on five of these where we expected the neutron star mass to be particularly low because of the core structure of the progenitor, specifically the mass of the iron and silicon core.

Read the paper: Real-time inference for binary neutron star mergers using machine learning Gravitational waves are a prediction of general relativity, Albert Einstein’s 1915 theory of gravity.

a “neutron star merger.” Detecting the gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars and black holes helps astronomers understand the structure of neutron stars, the origin of some of the heavy ...
