Neutron stars are very small and dense stars, where roughly half a million earth masses of material are squeezed into a city-sized volume with a radius of 10 km. They are mostly composed of ...

A group of scientists at the Goethe University Frankfurt recently published two articles about their work on determining the internal structure of neutron stars. The papers can be found in the ...

A thousand light years from Earth is an ancient remnant of a dead star. Known as the Velar pulsar, it's outer layers were blown away long ago, leaving a core crushed by its intense gravity. It has ...

Through extensive model calculations, physicistshave reached general conclusions about the internal structure of neutron stars, where matter reaches enormous densities: depending on their mass ...

So far, little is known about the interior of neutron stars, those extremely compact objects that can form after the death of a star: the mass of our sun or even more is compressed into a sphere ...

Neutron stars are the end product of some supernovae when a star runs out of fuel and collapses in on itself. This collapsed core is compressed into a sphere often smaller than a city, with a ...

Sweet new research suggests that some neutron stars have stiff mantles and soft cores, while others have soft exteriors and stiff hearts, just like different types of chocolates.

The violent merger of two neutron stars is thought to involve three main energy-transfer processes, shown in this diagram, that give rise to the different types of radiation seen by astronomers ...
