Using a novel simulation model based on machine learning, an international research team at GSI/FAIR has succeeded in gaining a deeper understanding of element formation in stellar events such as ...
For the first time, a freshly made heavy element, strontium, has been detected in space, in the aftermath of a merger of two neutron stars. This finding was observed by ESO’s X-shooter spectrograph on ...
Machine learning models energy release during heavy-element formation, enabling faster simulations of neutron star mergers ...
The heavy element strontium is created in the violent collision of a pair of neutron stars, according to a new study. It’s the first time scientists have detected the birth of a heavy element found on ...
An artist’s impression of strontium emerging from a neutron star merger. ESO/L. Calçada/M. Kornmesser When massive neutron stars collide, they don’t only produce dazzling light, bursts of gamma rays, ...
(CNN) — Two years ago astronomers for the first time observed the collision of two neutron stars, which created gravitational waves and light and created heavy elements such as gold, platinum and lead ...
A team of European researchers, using data from the X-shooter instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope, has found signatures of strontium formed in a neutron-star merger. This artist's impression ...
