"The detection of this signal has the potential to reveal what neutron stars are made of." Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves ...

Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt have identified a new way to probe the interior of neutron stars using gravitational waves from their collisions. By analyzing the "long ringdown" phase ...

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 ...

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 ...

Starquakes, or seismic events in neutron stars, are offering scientists an exciting new way to study nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers are delving into the ...

Typically, a star spins at incredibly fast speeds at the end of its life; however, scientists at the University of Sydney have identified a new type of neutron star that is quite literally the “ ...

Neutron stars, with a mass greater than that of the entire solar system confined within a nearly perfect sphere just a dozen kilometers in diameter, are among the most fascinating astrophysical ...

They are believed to originate from cataclysmic processes involving compact celestial objects such as neutron stars, and they typically last a few milliseconds. However, astronomers have recently ...

A supernova occurs when certain massive stars run out of nuclear fuel and collapse in on themselves, often blowing off their outer layers in a brilliant explosion. The leftover core is known as a ...

Feb. 7, 2025 — 'Temperamental' stars that brighten and dim over a matter of hours or days may be distorting our view of thousands of distant planets, suggests a new ...
