Collapsing star spotted turning into black hole or neutron star for the first time "Almost from the very start I realized that this transient was special," astronomer Régis Cartier said.

Exactly how the jets are powered from both objects is a subject of ongoing study.But according to the new research, neutron star jets can travel at 70,836 miles per second (114,000 kilometers per ...

Now, scientists from New York University have proposed one strange phenomenon that may result from a massive star's core collapsing: powerful forces within a certain type of neutron star could ...

A single collapsar might generate 30 times as much r-process material as a neutron star merger, and could generate a few hundred times the Earth’s mass in gold, Metzger says.
