Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into ...

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.

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." ...

Using the X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), Indian astronomers have ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers are delving into the world of starquakes to understand the densest matter in the universe within neutron stars. This study not only bridges the gap between astronomy and nuclear physics ...

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 ...

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

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.
