The neutron-star collision that gave the solar system its precious metals is sharing its secrets with scientists.

Astronomers may have witnessed the formation of a kind of rapidly spinning, extremely magnetized stellar corpse for the first time.

The neutron star formed from the remnants of the Cassiopeia A supernova fits this bill perfectly - since its discovery in 1999, the neutron star has lost 20% of its brightness and about 4% of its ...

Neutron stars are the perfect cosmic laboratory for the scientists who study them, thanks to their observability, extreme gravity, and strong magnetic fields.

THE current popularity of the rotating neutron star hypothesis as an explanation of pulsars suggests that a re-examination of the problem of the formation of neutron stars is appropriate. In ...

Astronomers have doubled the number of black hole and neutron star mergers detected via gravitational waves in a "stellar ...

Neutron stars are the classic example of a synthesis between quantum mechanics and gravity. Formed after the collapse of the remnants of a supernova, a neutron star is generally smaller than the ...

Today, let's talk about a major news item in the field of astronomy regarding the new discovery of neutron star mass distribution. This is quite significant and may overturn our previous understanding ...

Neutron stars exist under unfathomable conditions. For one to form, another star must grow old and die. When a giant star has burned through the fuel supply that makes it shine, its core collapses ...

Or we could be observing a supernova fallback disk— remnant dust from the neutron star’s formation that is heating up the star and slowing its rotation.
