Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other.

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars are when they are born. "Understanding the birth masses of neutron ...

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

If this model is correct, then dark matter could play a measurable role in the evolution of neutron stars. We could, for example, identify the presence of dark matter by observing neutron stars ...

This artist's impression illustrates the merger of two neutron stars, which produces the remarkably brief (1- to 2-second) yet intensely powerful event known as a short gamma-ray burst.

Starquakes and RSFs, on the other hand, provide direct measurements of neutron star vibrations. The crust-core interface mode (i-mode), for example, is particularly sensitive to the nuclear matter ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for ...

Neutron star mergers emit visible light (in the subsequent ... we had to develop various technical innovations. This includes for example a method for event-adaptive data compression," says ...

Neutron stars, therefore, have densities comparable ... in laboratories on Earth — providing insights into, for example, the strong force that holds nuclear matter together in the standard ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...
