This gravitational radiation carries angular momentum away from the binary system, causing the neutron stars to draw together. This increases the frequency of the emitted gravitational waves ...

it speeds the neutron star up to rates of rotation that can reach 700 turns per second. Think of this as being like the cosmic equivalent of an ice skater drawing in their arms to increase their rate ...

Let me draw ... neutron-related investments as well as long-lead procurement items for our SDA program and a lack of significant contractual milestone payments receivable across our MDA Global ...

Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered radio pulsars, one of the most important astronomical discoveries of the 20th ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars ...

When massive stars explode as supernovae, they can leave behind neutron stars. Other than black holes, these are the densest ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Binary neutron star mergers emit gravitational waves followed by light. To fully exploit these observations and avoid missing key signals, speed is crucial. An interdisciplinary team of researchers ...

A decade-long radio mystery has finally been solved: astronomers have linked repeating pulses to a white dwarf and red dwarf ...

According to the team, the new method could one day help to observe electromagnetic signals produced before and during the merger of two neutron stars. This could provide new insights into the ...

In some cases, the core of these big stars collapses. “It’s basically a giant atomic bomb that’s called a supernova.” The dense core that is left over is known as a neutron star. These are much denser ...
