Neutron stars are the remains of massive supernova explosions, packing more than the mass of our Sun into a space barely the ...

"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." ...

By analyzing the 'long ringdown' phase - a pure-tone signal emitted by the post-merger remnant - scientists have found a ...

New research of a Martian meteorite suggests that water - an essential ingredient for life - arose in hot springs on Mars 4.4 ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the greater mysteries facing astronomers today, rivaled only by gravitational waves (GWs) ...

Astronomers discover an unusual neutron star that emits double pulses, challenging theories about stellar remnants.

Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt have identified a new way to probe the interior of neutron stars using gravitational waves from their collisions. By analyzing the "long ringdown" phase ...

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.
