It's around 1.6 times the mass of the Sun, Howell and his colleagues believe, at an orbital separation of 4 astronomical ...

“There is no other object like the neutron star in Supernova 1987A, so close to us and having formed so recently. Because the material surrounding it is expanding, we will see more of it as time ...

Astronomers have made an astonishing revelation: the red supergiant Betelgeuse, one of the most studied stars in the night ...

The neutron star stayed hidden for 37 years while lurking in the wreckage of a stellar explosion, Supernova 1987A. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have ended a nearly ...

Gamma rays emerging from neutron stars at the hearts of supernova explosions could solve the mystery of dark matter — in just 10 seconds. That is, if dark matter is composed of axions, ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has found the best evidence yet for emission from a neutron star at the site of a recently observed supernova. The supernova, known as SN 1987A, was a core ...

An unusual star system created more of a fizz and less of a bang when it exploded in a supernova. The “ultra-stripped” supernova led researchers to discover the two stars 11,000 light-years ...

Supernovas, kilonovas, gamma-ray bursts... oh my! The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will uncover 100,000 of these ...

“From theoretical models of SN 1987A, the 10-second burst of neutrinos observed just before the supernova implied that a neutron star or black hole was formed in the explosion.

Astronomers have long suspected a city-sized neutron star hides within the dusty shroud of SN 1987A. And now, they’re closer than ever to proving their case.

That can lead to some bizarre situations, like a star that replaces its core with a neutron star. Now, researchers say they have probably found a more violent alternative to that merger.
