Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars.

A spoonful of neutron star material would be incredibly dense and have bizarre effects on Earth. Trump Signs Executive Order ...

Neutron stars are the densest objects in the universe after they form from supernova crashes of massive stars. These mysterious bodies have fascinated researchers throughout the last several decades, ...

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a visual frequency scale (at left) track the steady rise in the frequency of ...

Magnetars are surrounded by the most powerful magnetic fields in the known universe, but these dead stars are also surrounded by plenty of mystery. And now, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope ...

Scientists have created the first neutron 'Airy beam,' which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. The achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the ...

A pulsar is a neutron star, a super-dense stellar remnant that produces beams of radio waves and an energetic "wind" of particles. The pulsar and its wind move with supersonic speed through the ...

This composite image shows RCW 103 and its central source, called 1E 161348-5055 (1E 1613), exhibiting properties of a highly magnetized neutron star, or magnetar, yet its deduced spin period is ...

However, their findings at the time were disputed, with a section of scientists claiming the body was instead a neutron star. However, the team continued studying the object and has now found more ...
