Neutron stars represent one of the final evolutionary stages of a massive star, forming when stars with at least eight times ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into ...

When neutron stars collide, they create a powerful gravitational-wave signal, with the post-merger remnant ringing like a ...

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around ... the core remains—but it no longer produces nuclear fusion. With no outward pressure from fusion to counterbalance gravity's inward pull ...

New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...

Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt have identified a new way to probe the interior of neutron stars using ...

The characteristic of stars, such as our sun ... of the products (3.5 MeV to alpha particle and 14.1 MeV to neutron). Three main conditions are necessary for a controlled thermonuclear fusion: The ...

There is a lot of complicated but beautiful physics in understanding how this explosion takes place,” says Purdue University astronomer Danny Milisavljevic, who led the team behind the JWST images.

Australian scientists have discovered a collapsed star called a neutron star that spins thousands of times slower than expected. The star, called ASKAP J1839-075, is one of a number of recent ...

One of the fast radio bursts appears to have come from the chaotic, magnetically active environment near a type of dense neutron star called a magnetar. Meanwhile, the other fast radio burst ...

TŻOs are driven by the extraordinary activity of the absorbed neutron stars in their cores, whereas regular red supergiants get their energy from nuclear fusion in their cores. Thus, the ...

Neutron stars are one of the densest objects in the universe, second only to black holes. Using observations from the merger of binary star system GW170817, astronomers believe that the mass of ...
