Stars often fall into black holes, and now it seems the opposite can also occur, producing an extra long-lasting explosion as ...

Astronomers may have recorded the violent birth of one of the weirdest objects our Universe is capable of producing. In a bizarre gamma-ray space explosion whose light reached Earth in 2023, a team ...

The transformation of neutrinos in a neutron star merger could be crucial to shaping the way events of the collision unfold. For the first time, a team of physicists has simulated how neutrinos change ...

A discovery involving researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has, for the first time, revealed millisecond pulsations hidden within a powerful cosmic explosion known as a gamma-ray burst ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, showers of radiation, and even the building blocks of gold and platinum.

The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how the merger unfolds, including the composition and structure of the merger ...
