A cosmic enigma, ASKAP J1839-0756, a slow-spinning neutron star discovered using the ASKAP radio telescope, is challenging ...

This asymmetric system gives scientists confidence that double neutron star mergers will provide vital clues about unsolved mysteries in astrophysics - including a more accurate determination of ...

The maps of these emission beams also provide important information on the double neutron star population in our galaxy and the expected gravitational wave detection rate for neutron star mergers.

When massive stars explode as supernovae, they can leave behind neutron stars. Other than black holes, these are the densest ...

Astronomers have finally traced mysterious radio pulses in the Milky Way to a unique cosmic duo—a red dwarf and a white dwarf ...

Strange radio pulses have been traced to their origin, a white dwarf and red dwarf binary pair, solving a cosmic radio ...

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.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Simulations indicate that the low-mass star in the J0453+1559 binary system could be a neutron star rather than a white dwarf. The star's mass, 1.174 M ⊙, is ...

More massive stars than the Sun have a very different life cycle and follow the right hand path in the diagram above: \(\begin{equation} \begin{aligned} Nebula \rightarrow protostar \rightarrow ...

Neutron stars emit radio pulses by converting their ... which lets us see pulses from both poles. These rare double flashes, called interpulses, provide a unique window into the star's geometry ...
