Understanding the origin of heavy elements on the periodic table is one of the most challenging open problems in all of ...

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars. These mergers are known to generate gravitational waves, energy-carrying ...

It is so strange it might even offer clues to the mechanism behind events known as fast radio bursts.

In this environment, Mumpower’s team suggest that energetic photons in a jet collide with protons to create a neutron and a ...

For the first time, scientists have managed to spot a lonely black hole drifting through space thanks to its gravity ...

Artist’s impression of a binary neutron star merger, emitting gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation. Detection and analysis of these signals can provide profound insights into the ...

Scientists recently revealed astounding discoveries about neutron star masses, illuminating ways that contradict our previously accepted knowledge. The scientific discoveries create essential ...

Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ...

Abstract: We investigate the stochastic gravitational wave background that results from neutron star birth throughout the Universe. The neutron star birth rate, as a function of redshift, is ...

Simulations of highly magnetized stars that explode and collapse into black holes show that they transfer their magnetic fields to the disk of swirling matter that forms around the new black hole.
