UNDATED (WKRC) - Researchers says that they have picked up a strange radio signal that may have come from an unlikely source. Scientists believe that a pulse, which lasted about 300 milliseconds, ...

The statistical distribution of the total mass of 14 double neutron star (DNS) systems (out of 18 pairs observed) is found to be very narrow, with the average and standard deviation as 2.65 ± 0.03 M☉.

The cosmos has delivered a rare kind of fireworks display, and astronomers are racing to understand what it means. A strange double flash from a distant galaxy appears to show two neutron stars ...

Neutron stars are incredibly dense, city-sized remnants of massive stars. They form after a supernova when gravity overcomes electron degeneracy pressure. Some neutron stars, called pulsars, emit ...

The heaviest neutron star ever detected is shredding its companion while spinning on its axis over 700 times per second. The neutron star, known as PSR J0952-0607, was discovered in 2017 about 3,000 ...

When a massive star dies in a supernova, the explosion is only the beginning of the end. Most of the stellar matter is thrown far and wide, but the star’s iron-filled heart remains behind. This core ...

Neutron stars are covered with "mountains" only fractions of a millimeter tall, new research shows, meaning these bumps are hundreds of times smaller than previous estimates had suggested. Now, new ...
