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 stars are very small and dense stars ... They are mostly composed of neutrons and the interior is thought to contain layers of superfluid, although the composition of the innermost ...

For the first time, researchers have used lattice quantum chromodynamics to study the interior of neutron stars, obtaining a new maximum bound for the speed of sound inside the star and a better ...

For years , NASA has been trying to study the interior physics of neutron stars - including mass and radius – through an X-ray telescope on the International Space Station. The telescope ...

Like the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) telescope mounted outside of the space station, LEXI observes X-ray sources. LEXI and NICER observed the same X-ray star to calibrate ...
