Not all black holes form the same way, but this ultra-low-mass black hole would have taken shape after two supernova explosions left two neutron stars in a close-enough orbit for gravitational ...

An artist's depiction of the neutron star collision scientists observed in August, which they now believe created a small black hole. NASA/CXC/M.Weiss ...

A black hole-neutron star collision has finally been detected. July 6, 2021 at 9:32 p.m. | Updated July 6, 2021 at 9:35 p.m. by NYTimes News Service ...

Ghosh emphasizes that since black holes don’t actually have a surface, a neutron star and a black hole merger isn’t really a collision that might spew matter out in every direction, but rather ...

The collision, which should have formed a black hole, instead (apparently) formed a magnetar, a supermassive, highly-energetic neutron star. Just around two dozen magnetars have been discovered so ...

A collision between a black hole and a neutron star was the last type of event on LIGO’s wishlist. Carl Knox/OzGrav ARC Centre of Excellence ...

“We’ve never detected a neutron star and a black hole together,” UC Santa Cruz astronomer Ryan Foley told Vice. “If it turns out to be right, then we’ve confirmed a new type of star ...

Scientists say they may have detected the never-before-seen collision of a neutron star and a black hole, a collision between two neutron stars and three potential black hole mergers.

Astronomers have yet to witness a collision between a black hole and a neutron star, but they predict that such a smashup would unleash huge amounts of energy but, unexpectedly, might not generate ...

On Jan. 15, 2020, the Hanford site was back up, and all three instruments detected the second collision of a black hole and a neutron star. This one was a bit farther away.

Above, an artist's illustration of GW170817, the neutron-star collision whose gravitational waves were detected in August 2017. Below, you can see the progression of the event.

At the time, scientists suggested that this dramatic event, officially cataloged as GW170817, could have created a black hole — and a new analysis backs this supposition up. News Today's news ...
