The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray burst 200522A) was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope, Swift Observatory and other telescopes. A kilonova is a "the afterglow ...
Our readers agree that in the unlikely event you were able to approach a neutron star, it would look very smooth and bright ...
Varda Space Industries designs and operates a variety of space infrastructure that could support a future orbital economy.
A team of astronomers claims it has observed the birth of an unusual cosmic object. In an observation of a gamma-ray captured in 2023, they believe they have detected a signal that is comparable to ...
See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a visual frequency scale (at left) track the steady rise in the frequency of ...
Abstract: NASA’s Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observed X-ray emission from the pulsar PSR J0030 + 0451 in 2018. Riley et al. reported Bayesian parameter measurements of the mass ...
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 ...
An artistic illustration of the magnetar and the gamma-ray burst jet in this work (Illustration: Yuja Tian and Yuting Wu, Nanjing Zhijiao Cloud Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.; Scientific concept ...
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 ...
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 ...
Using the joint Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), European Space Agency (ESA), and NASA X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), scientists uncovered a dense but surprisingly slow wind ...
