Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...

A distant neutron star has abruptly erupted in brightness, surging to roughly one hundred times its usual output and leaving astronomers scrambling to explain what could drive such a violent change.

Using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Chinese astronomers have observed a gamma-ray binary system known as PSR ...

The image that combines data from X-ray, optical, and Hα line observations. NGC 7793 P13 is located away from the galactic center of NGC 7793. When gas falls onto a compact object, such as a neutron ...

New simulations performed on a NASA supercomputer are providing scientists with the most comprehensive look yet into the maelstrom of interacting magnetic structures around city-sized neutron stars in ...

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used Frontier to chart the isospin density of a neutron star over a range of conditions. This illustration depicts isospin-dense ...
