Scientists at Pennsylvania State University have studied the interior structure of neutron star merger remnants using supercomputer simulations based on general-relativistic neutrino-radiation ...

Nick Hague worked to repair the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer, or NICER, mounted to the outside of the space station, before he and Expedition 72 commander Suni Williams inspected the ...

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 ...

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 ...

A machine learning method has the potential to revolutionize multi-messenger astronomy. Detecting binary neutron star mergers is a top priority for astronomers. These rare collisions between dense ...

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 ...
