Neutron stars are one of the most extreme and exotic objects in the known universe.

The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black hole. This has, for the first time, made it ...

The neutron star 4U 1820-30 is one of the fastest spinning bodies in the universe, spinning at 716 times a second and erupting like an atomic bomb, NASA's NICER telescope has found.

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other.

Astronomers find first strong evidence of neutron star remnant of exploding star An international team of astronomers including UCL’s Professor Mike Barlow has discovered the first conclusive ...

Neutron stars are the perfect cosmic laboratory for the scientists who study them, thanks to their observability, extreme gravity, and strong magnetic fields. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada.

The secret lives of neutron stars Astrophysicists use gravitational waves and light to trace genealogies of dead stars.

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

Astronomers have found evidence that a neutron star exists at the centre of the only exploding star – supernova – visible to the naked eye in the last 400 years, solving a 30-year-old mystery ...

Astronomers have studied 3,600 supernovas to discover diversity in exploding white dwarf stars, a vital tool in the investigation of dark energy.

The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black hole. This has, for the first time, made it ...

According to a study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, it is explosions of highly magnetized neutron stars, or magnetars, that caused gold and other heavy metals to form in space.
