Abstract: This paper presents an extensive overview of known and proposed RR Lyrae stars in binaries. The aim is to revise and extend the list with new Galactic field systems. We utilized maxima ...

Kilonova explosions from neutron star collisions may damage atmospheres and threaten life if nearby, according to a new study ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars are when they are born. "Understanding the birth masses of neutron ...

In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly magnetized rapidly rotating, light-emitting neutron star) and a so-called ...

Collision of Two Neutron Stars Billions of Years Ago Made Enough Gold and Uranium To Fill Earth's Oceans, Says Study Billions ...

A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other emitting radio pulses every two hours. Their findings means we know it isn't just neutron stars that emit such ...

New approach could aid “multimessenger” astronomy by quickly locating sources of gravitational waves emitted during these ...

The new Neutron rocket includes a "hippo" mouth fairing that deploys upper stages by spitting them out from inside. The private space company Rocket Lab is on track to launch the first of its new ...
