A new paper provides scientists with a groundbreaking tool for understanding cataclysmic events. Physicist Glennys Farrar has ...

This scenario is beyond what we considered in our model, which is neutron stars colliding with interstellar objects," Pham said. "Further observations are needed to understand the emission ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into "cosmic tuning forks." The reverberations of such ripples in spacetime ...

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 ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars are when they are born. "Understanding the birth masses of neutron ...

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other.

After finding the debris of two colliding stars swimming in the ocean, researchers are after more evidence from the lunar soil. Comments ( 0 ) ( ) When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves 100 years ago. These tiny ripples in space and time are generated when black holes or neutron stars collide. In September 2015, the LIGO ...

Researchers suspected europium was formed by colliding neutron stars, but couldn't be sure how much until one was detected. Another explanation is that cataclysmic explosions of stars, called ...
