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 ...

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

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 ...

Researchers have traced a mysterious radio signal back to an 'unprecedented' region of space for the very first time.

Trump says he'll raise tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum to 50%: Live updates Shrek 5 - Official Cast Announcement Teaser Trailer DOGE and agencies cancel 200,000 federal government credit cards ...

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 ...

"This new fast radio burst shows us that just when you think you understand an astrophysical phenomenon, the universe turns around and surprises us." Astronomers have been forced to reassess the ...

Scientists have taken a major leap forward in understanding the formation of neutron stars, thanks to new 3D supernova simulations conducted by a team of astrophysicists. Led by Associate Professor ...

In a major breakthrough in understanding stellar life and death, Monash University scientists have created the first ever model to convincingly explain the formation of the lightest known neutron star ...

Moreover, even those quarks (the up and down that comprise a neutron) get compressed into an even rarer type of quark called a strange quark—hence the name strange star. Technically, the ...
