Some neutron stars may contain a "special type of matter," according to a new NASA study. These observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory indicate that the interiors of neutron stars might ...

Scientists report a possible pulsar at the Milky Way’s center, discovered through radio observations by the Breakthrough Listen team using the Green Bank Telescope, offering a new laboratory for ...

Using NASA’s Swift satellite, McGill University and Penn State University astronomers have identified an object that is likely one of the closest neutron stars to Earth — and possibly the closest. The ...

When the roiling nuclear fusion inside of a star begins to die — gravity crushing into the star’s waning fuel-store of hydrogen atoms, fusing them into heavier helium nuclei — the universe usually ...

Astronomers have uncovered what appear to be 21 neutron stars in orbit around stars like our Sun. The discovery is surprising because it is not clear how a star that exploded winds up next to a star ...

Volume rendering of density in a simulation of a binary neutron star merger. New research shows that neutrinos created in the hot interface between the merging stars can be briefly trapped and remain ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Einstein’s predicted distortion of space-time occurs around neutron stars, University of Michigan astronomers and others have observed. Using European and Japanese/NASA X-ray ...

Some neutron stars probably have something strange lurking in their cores, according to a recent study. Neutron stars are already some of the most peculiar objects in the universe. They contain enough ...
