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

Neutron stars are massive gravitational monsters, and orbiting one wouldn't end up well for our planet. But what if we took ...

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a ...

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

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

Merger of two neutron stars in the aftermath of a supernova may have been observed for the first time, though questions ...

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 ...

It weighs more than 2 times the mass of our sun, but is only 18 miles wide. Astronomers have discovered the "most massive neutron star ever measured," amassing to more than two times the mass of our ...

"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, and modeled potentially observable high-energy signals." ...
