PSR B1937+21 is a millisecond pulsar located in the direction of the constellation Vulpecula, renowned for its astonishing rotation speed of 642 revolutions per second. Since its discovery in 1982, it ...

Gravity from mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars produces ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) searches for such ...

The first-ever detection of gravitational waves was made 10 years ago today (Sept. 14). In celebration, Space.com takes you ...

stellar collisions detected, including rare black hole–neutron star mergers, reshaping our view of star death and cosmic ...

A decade after the first discovery, scientists have used these waves to find a unique merger, a massive binary system and a ...

Gravitational-wave astronomy has exploded since 2015, capturing hundreds of black hole and neutron star collisions. With ever ...

In 2015, the two LIGO interferometers made the very first observation of a gravitational wave: attributing its origin to a ...

The burst seems to have been caused by a highly extraordinary event, but scientists don’t yet know exactly what that could be ...

IUCAA scientist explains gravity, gravitational waves to students at SRM University-AP outreach event, featuring academic ...

Binary star systems are not rare. Neither are systems where one star is a remnant like a white dwarf or neutron star, and its companion is on the main sequence. In those systems, the dense remnant can ...

The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray burst 200522A) was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope, ...
