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

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.

Two neutron stars are part of an incredibly rare double neutron-star binary, for example. Astronomers have discovered around 3,600 pulsars in the Milky Way, but only 20 of them have been double ...

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 ...

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.

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.
