Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic and luminous explosions in the universe. However, they are fleeting and often ...

Neutron star collisions are known to be factories in which heavy elements are produced. The fusion that takes place inside stellar cores can only produce elements up to iron; the r-process, or ...

The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray burst 200522A) was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope, Swift Observatory and other telescopes. A kilonova is a "the afterglow ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how ...

Two black holes collided 1.3 billion light years from Earth, creating a 'ringing,' which in turn allowed astrophysicists to test some theories. And it turns out, they were all correct.

Members of the STAR collaboration, a group of physicists collecting and analyzing data from particle collisions at the ...
