Observations of a pulsar, consisting of a dead star spinning 600 times a second, and feasting on a stellar companion reveal ...

The team’s research was based on observations of the neutron star merger behind gravitational wave signal GW 170817, picked up by Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in ...

Neutron stars like ASKAP J1935+2148 are born when massive stars with about eight to 10 times the mass of the sun run out of the fuel needed for nuclear fusion within their cores.

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar. advertisement. Space.

The neutron star, residing in our Milky Way galaxy in the direction of the constellation Sextans and formally named PSR J0952-0607, is located roughly 20,000 light years from Earth, Romani said.

Neutron stars are some of the most extreme objects in the universe. Formed from dead stars and packed with neutrons (hence the name), these stars can be as dense as our own Sun while only spanning ...

For the first time, astronomers have spotted a rapidly spinning neutron star that is gravitationally bound to a helium star companion. The discovery of this unusual binary system helps confirm a ...

This neutron star is only 12 miles from end to end, yet weighs 1 1/2 times our sun. It's densely packed with little space between parts of its atoms.
