New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...

But now, a rare burst has provided indications that FRBs likely originate near the star and that they share a feature with the emissions of pulsars, another subtype of neutron star.

Neutron star "mountains" would be much more massive than any on Earth—so massive that gravity just from these mountains could produce small oscillations, or ripples, in the fabric of space and time.

Mercury has a thin crust and a large metal core, and the smallest planet too has peculiar features on its surface: curved step-like structures. If the crust of neutron stars is not the same in ...

Though the surface features of neutron stars are unknown, based on the formation of mountains on planets and moons, researchers have long theorized that neutron stars likely have mountains ...

Australian scientists have discovered a collapsed star called a neutron star that spins thousands of times slower than expected. The star, called ASKAP J1839-075, is one of a number of recent ...

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.

Nuclear theorists at Indiana University considered analogies between neutron star mountains and surface features of solar system bodies. Both neutron stars and certain moons such as Jupiter’s ...
