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

Astronomers have finally identified the source of mysterious radio waves from deep space, tracing the signals back to an ...

Plutonium discovered at the bottom of the ocean was found to be refuse from a kilonova that exploded close to Earth 10 ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars ...

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

A supernova is a cataclysmic stellar death that leaves behind a black hole or neutron star. It is the biggest, brightest, and most violent type of explosion scientists have observed in the universe.

For the first time, scientists have directly measured a weak r-process reaction using a radioactive ion beam, shedding light ...

The team’s research, published today in the journal Nature, outlines an algorithm to study neutron star mergers’ gravitational wave emissions. Once identified, astronomers around the world ...

A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other emitting radio pulses every two hours. Their findings means we know it isn't just neutron stars that emit such ...

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 ...
