The team suggests that if there are small mountains on pulsars, China’s FAST (Five- hundred-meter Aperture Spherical ...

The teams determined that the neutron star is between 1.3 and 1.4 times the mass of the Sun. And it is roughly 16 miles (26 kilometers) wide. (By contrast, our Sun stretches just over 864,000 ...

The unique neutron star 4U 0142+61 has a solid surface and a giant ring of matter orbiting it. By Troy Farah Science & Health Editor. Published January 9, 2023 2:59PM (EST) ...

Imagine a star so dense that a teaspoon of its material would weigh as much as Mount Everest, spinning hundreds of times per ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

Astronomers have for the first time mapped the surface of a neutron star in exquisite detail. Jak Connor. Tech and Science Editor. Published Dec 13, 2019 12:34 AM CST Updated Nov 3, 2020 11:45 AM CST.

Neutron star "mountains" would be much more massive than any on Earth—so massive that gravity just from these mountains could ...

Neutron stars can exist in isolation, only detectable by their surface temperature, or they can dwell in partnerships with "ordinary" stars, often siphoning off their material, or in some cases ...

Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a few millimeters tall. And those surfaces are already alien, consisting of a crust of heavy atomic nuclei ...

Pulsars, the dense cores of collapsed stars, could potentially have tiny mountains on their surfaces, challenging our current ...

The neutron star 4U 1820-30 is one of the fastest spinning bodies in the universe, spinning at 716 times a second and erupting like an atomic bomb, NASA's NICER telescope has found.
