Three new full-dome movies will highlight the July schedule at the University of Wyoming Harry C. Vaughan Planetarium.

Neutron stars are incredibly dense remnants of supernova explosions ... eventually ending up in the Earth's crust. Can Gold ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, and short-lived black hole pulsars.

Fifty experts on nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics met at CERN from 9 to 13 June to discuss how to use ...

Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun.

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a ...

Binary neutron star mergers, cosmic collisions between two very dense stellar remnants made up predominantly of neutrons, have been the topic of numerous astrophysics studies due to their ...

This artist’s conception shows the collision of two neutron stars on Aug. 17. The event was detected in both gravitational waves and, more significantly, light. Jonah B. Kanner / Caltech ...

Because neutron stars can be formed during a supernova explosion, their rotation could be coupled with the surrounding gaseous remnant2,3: the following considerations will therefore also refer to ...
