The LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA collaboration searches the universe for gravitational waves produced by the mergers of black holes and neutron stars. It has now announced the detection of a signal indicating a ...

The dense remains of massive stars generate powerful jets of gas and dust that move hundreds of millions of miles per hour, according to research published last week in Nature. When some massive stars ...

WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - Magnetars are among the universe's most extreme objects - a class of the compact stellar remnants called neutron stars that possess immensely strong magnetic fields.

In 1987, astronomers recorded the only supernova visible to the naked eye in the last 400 years. Astronomers have since wondered about what the massive explosion left behind in its wake. Using JWST, ...

Neutron stars are one of the strangest objects in the universe—so strange that scientist can only guess what’s going on inside them. A new study from an international team of scientists estimates that ...

How fast can a neutron star spin? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international team of more than a dozen researchers have identified one of ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of millions of years, these stars progressively cool down, radiating heat into ...
