Astronomers from the University of Sydney found a brand new type of neutron star that moves as slowly as a sloth!
Neutron star "mountains" would be much more massive than any on Earth—so massive that gravity just from these mountains could produce small oscillations, or ripples, in the fabric of space and time.
Neutron stars are one of the most extreme objects ... That's the message from the team behind one of the world's biggest science projects being built in remote Australia. All of the long ...
Astronomers have witnessed the titanic collision between two neutron stars that resulted in the birth of the smallest black ...
Most pulsars, the faster-spinning cousins of ASKAP J1839-0756, are like one-sided flashlights. The axis they spin around is closely aligned to the axis of their magnetic field, which means we only see ...
Neutron stars are among the densest objects in the universe. Their crust is far stronger than any material on Earth and a spoonful of this matter is heavier than a mountain. Talking about ...
When a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses, it triggers what's known as a supernova - one of the largest explosions ... collapsed remnants are known as neutron stars.
When supermassive stars reach the end of their lives and explode in a supernova, the remnants form a super-dense object called a neutron star. Pulsars are neutron stars that spin rapidly ...
