University of Warwick astronomers have discovered an extremely rare, high-mass, compact binary star system only ~150 light ...

Overall, the simulations performed by Müller, Heger and Powell suggest that the low-mass star in the binary system J0453 + 1559 could in fact be a neutron star. In their next studies, the ...

New approach could aid “multimessenger” astronomy by quickly locating sources of gravitational waves emitted during these ...

Binary neutron star mergers occur millions of light-years away from Earth. Interpreting the gravitational waves they produce presents a major challenge for traditional data-analysis methods.

The team tracked the signal back to a strange binary system containing a dead ... bursts like this one had only been traced back to neutron stars, meaning this work puts an entirely new spin ...

This signal had duration of only about 100 seconds, exhibiting the characteristics expected of the inspiral - merger - of two neutron stars. Analysis of the data further indicated that the two ...

The algorithm, named Dingo-BNS ("Deep Inference for Gravitational-wave Observations from Binary Neutron Stars"), could thus become a central component of so-called multi-messenger astronomy.
