Neutron stars are formed when giant stars run out of fuel. Their internal pressure is no longer sufficient to fight gravity, and the resulting collapse and supernova explosion leaves a tiny core, with ...

How then does a neutron star radiate into space even in the absence of anything to replenish the radiance? One of the solutions is a strange counterintuitive effect of contemporary physics that empty ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...

"Measuring the properties of neutron-star matter is indeed very hard and this is because while we can measure the mass of a neutron star very accurately, it is very hard to measure its radius ...

A mysterious cosmic explosion linked to gravitational waves may reveal a previously unknown type of supernova event - a ...

Artist’s impression of the powerful winds blowing from the bright X-ray source GX13+1. The X-rays are coming from a disc of hot matter, known as an accretion disc, that is gradually spiralling down to ...

A distant neutron star has abruptly erupted in brightness, surging to roughly one hundred times its usual output and leaving astronomers scrambling to explain what could drive such a violent change.
