In a recent breakthrough, the XRISM mission has uncovered a puzzling cosmic phenomenon—a slow, dense wind emanating from the neutron star GX13+1. This unexpected discovery, detailed in a study ...

XRISM found a slow, thick wind from a neutron star, pointing to temperature as the key driver of cosmic wind behavior. The ...

When the remnants of two stars collide, their union can launch a dazzling jet of high energy matter. A new computer simulation reveals how the merger, which forms a black hole, emits that bright beam, ...

Our readers agree that in the unlikely event you were able to approach a neutron star, it would look very smooth and bright ...

Astronomers observed one of the fastest-spinning objects ever seen in the universe - and it is a neutron star. The researchers, from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), made the observation in ...

Astronomers have discovered a mysterious unknown object in our galaxy that could be a breakthrough in the study of black holes. The “extremely dense remnant of a collapsed star” lies about 235,000 ...

"It is fascinating to concretely see how each new neutron-star observation enables us to deduce the properties of neutron-star matter with increasing precision." When you purchase through links on our ...

It weighs more than 2 times the mass of our sun, but is only 18 miles wide. Astronomers have discovered the "most massive neutron star ever measured," amassing to more than two times the mass of our ...

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 ...

"Our research establishes a strong link between quantum mechanics and astrophysics and provides a new perspective on the inner nature of neutron stars." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
