Using the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa, an international team of astronomers has detected 26 new Galactic radio transients. Most of them turned out to be rotating radio transients (RRATs ...

Additionally, astronomers speculated on neutron star land forms, paleontologists reported a previously unknown Cretaceous-era predator and a tech start-up is building a living seawall in Florida ...

A rendering based on one of Miller’s neutron-star merger simulations, showing the aftermath of a neutron star merger: hot, neutron-rich gas around a black hole. Machine learning-based surrogate models ...

Neutron stars are among the densest objects in the universe. Their crust is far stronger than any material on Earth and a spoonful of this matter is heavier than a mountain. Talking about ...

When two neutron stars collide, they produce violent explosions known as kilonovae. These collisions create some of the heaviest elements in the universe, like gold and platinum, and send them ...

Some theories suggest they originate from powerful shockwaves, while others point to the highly magnetic environments surrounding neutron stars. Astronomers at MIT have now managed to pinpoint the ...

When supermassive stars reach the end of their lives and explode in a supernova, the remnants form a super-dense object called a neutron star. Pulsars are neutron stars that spin rapidly ...

Lovelace, R. V. E., Sutton, J. M., and Craft, jun., H. D., IAU Astronomical Telegram Circular No. 2113 (1968). Howard, W. E., IAU Astronomical Telegram Circular No ...

Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ...

"In these environments of neutron stars, the magnetic fields are really at the limits of what the universe can produce." Fireworks are likely dying down in your neighborhood as New Year's ...

Researchers have estimated that FRB 20221022A exploded from a region that is at most 10,000 kilometers (6,000 miles) away from a neutron star. A neutron star in a galaxy 200 million light-years away.
