As the great detective said, "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the ...

Astronomers have finally identified the source of mysterious radio waves from deep space, tracing the signals back to an ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars ...

A cosmic enigma, ASKAP J1839-0756, a slow-spinning neutron star discovered using the ASKAP radio telescope, is challenging ...

Plutonium discovered at the bottom of the ocean was found to be refuse from a kilonova that exploded close to Earth 10 ...

An international team of astronomers reports the detection of four new gamma-ray millisecond pulsars using the Murriyang ...

The team tracked the signal back to a strange binary system containing a dead star or " white dwarf " and a red dwarf stellar companion. The radio pulse repeats every 2 hours and was first detected a ...

A puzzling new type of radio signal – lasting seconds to minutes – has been linked to a binary star system featuring a white ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Simulations indicate that the low-mass star in the J0453+1559 binary system could be a neutron star rather than a white dwarf. The star's mass, 1.174 M ⊙, is ...

When massive stars explode as supernovae, they can leave behind neutron stars. Other than black holes, these are the densest ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Binary neutron star mergers emit gravitational waves followed by light. To fully exploit these observations and avoid missing key signals, speed is crucial. An interdisciplinary team of ...
