A complete picture The simulation starts with very few assumptions – neutron stars with strong magnetic fields orbiting each other – and evolves the binary self-consistently over time based on basic ...

But the intense confines of the neutron star's interior keep the neutrons stable and free-flowing. After only about a mile (2 kilometers) deep into the neutron star, matter takes on perhaps its ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into "cosmic tuning forks." The reverberations of such ripples in spacetime ...
