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

Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt have identified a new way to probe the interior of neutron stars using gravitational waves from their collisions. By analyzing the "long ringdown" phase—a ...

Astronomers have witnessed the titanic collision between two neutron stars that resulted in the birth of the smallest black ...

When neutron stars collide, they create a powerful gravitational-wave signal, with the post-merger remnant ringing like a cosmic tuning fork. Scientists have identified this phase, the "long ringdown, ...

Neutron star "mountains" would be much more massive than any on Earth—so massive that gravity just from these mountains could produce small oscillations, or ripples, in the fabric of space and time.

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 ...

There are plenty of types of stars out there, but one stands out for being just a little weirder than the others. You might even say it's strange. According to a paper from researchers at Guangxi ...

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 ...

The highly energetic explosion was initially attributed to a burst of gamma rays emitted either by the collision of two neutron stars or from the death of a massive star. Soon, however ...

The team used advanced numerical simulations to model the magneto-thermal evolution of these stars, finding that a specific dynamo process within the proto-neutron star can generate these weaker ...
