Intense gravitational lensing means you’d be able to see much more of a neutron star standing on its surface than you would ...

As the collapsed core of a massive star, a neutron star is a small but incredibly dense object, packing up to three times the ...

Neutron stars, these cosmic remnants resulting from the catastrophic explosion of massive stars, represent one of the most ...

Gravity from mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars produces ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) searches for such ...

V Sagittae’s violent mass transfer hints at an imminent nova—and a future supernova visible from Earth. Binary star systems are fairly common in the universe, as are pairs where one star is a compact ...

The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be ...

NASA's NICER telescope halts its mission after a key motor fails; engineers attempt to salvage eight years of space science.

The transformation of neutrinos in a neutron star merger could be crucial to shaping the way events of the collision unfold. For the first time, a team of physicists has simulated how neutrinos change ...
