Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt have identified a new way to probe the interior of neutron stars using ...

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

The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray burst 200522A) was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope, Swift Observatory and other telescopes. A kilonova is a "the afterglow ...

The image shows two neutron stars colliding to releasing neutrons that radioactive nuclei rapidly capture. The combination of neutron capture and radioactive decay produces subsequently heavier ...

The highly energetic explosion was initially attributed to a burst of gamma rays emitted either by the collision of two neutron stars or from the death of a massive star. Soon, however ...

Neutron star "mountains" would be much more massive than any on Earth—so massive that gravity just from these mountains could produce small oscillations, or ripples, in the fabric of space and time.

But now, a rare burst has provided indications that FRBs likely originate near the star and that they share a feature with the emissions of pulsars, another subtype of neutron star.

Any denser, and it would enter black hole territory. The study also found that if a neutron star were ever to collide into a black hole, it would likely be swallowed up whole. The only case where ...

The astrophysics world is excited after the first-ever observation of two neutron stars merging in a cataclysmic crash. It's being called one of the greatest scientific events in recent history ...

A neutron-star collision discovered through gravitational waves made about 1-5 Earths' worth of the europium, according to a new study. In October 2017, astrophysicists announced a remarkable ...

Until the recent observation of merging neutron stars, how the heaviest elements come to be was a mystery. But their fingerprints are all over this cosmic collision. A LIGO team member describes ...
