An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.

The star's core collapses as the outer layers swell ... A very similar thing happens here on Earth (albeit on a much smaller scale) when a spinning skater brings in their arms to rotate faster.

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." ...

What can fast-spinning stars known as “blue lurkers” teach us about star formation and evolution? This is what a recent study being presented at the 245th American Astronomical Society meeting hopes ...

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.

These stars "look totally normal, but are spinning suspiciously fast for their age," Leiner, who is an assistant professor of physics at the Illinois Institute of Technology, told reporters on ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a rare "blue lurker" star that has been feeding on material from its two conjoined siblings. The fast-spinning star provides a detailed look at the ...

The team used advanced numerical simulations to model the magneto-thermal evolution of these stars, finding that a specific dynamo process within the proto-neutron star can generate these weaker ...
