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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...

Neutron collisions are cosmic events of immense power that have the ability to forge some of the universe’s most precious elements, including gold. These astronomical phenomena provide a unique ...

Astronomers have analyzed the data from long-term radio observations of a binary pulsar known as PSR J1906+0746. Results of ...

Scientists report a possible pulsar at the Milky Way’s center, discovered through radio observations by the Breakthrough Listen team using the Green Bank Telescope, offering a new laboratory for ...
