False color plot showing the density of the mass in the equatorial (bottom) and meridional, or “southern” (top) planes of a neutron star merger remnant about 100 milliseconds after the merger. In the ...

Astronomers using ESA’s gamma-ray observatory, Integral, have detected what appears to be the fastest spinning neutron star yet. This tiny stellar corpse is spinning 1122 times every second. If ...

Quantum computing and neutron star physics are converging on the same hard problem: how to describe matter when gravity and quantum mechanics both refuse to stay in the background. Researchers are ...

A better understanding of the inner workings of neutron stars will lead to a greater knowledge of the dynamics that underpin the workings of the universe and also could help drive future technology. A ...

FRANKFURT. Neutron stars, with a mass greater than that of the entire solar system confined within a nearly perfect sphere just a dozen kilometers in diameter, are among the most fascinating ...

A strange 'garden sprinkler-like' jet coming from a neutron star has been pictured for the first time. The S-shaped structure is created as the jet changes direction due to the wobbling of the disc of ...

Insight-HXMT’s discovery of the fundamental electron cyclotron absorption line near 146 keV for the first Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J 0243.6+6124. Neutron stars have the strongest ...
