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.

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

"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." Out in the universe lie dead stellar remnants ...

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 ...

Scientists have detected what they believe to be a neutron star spinning at an unprecedentedly slow rate —slower than any of the more than 3,000 radio emitting neutron stars measured to date. Neutron ...

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 ...

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 ...
