Aiming to resolve the "neutron star hyperon puzzle," the study of hyperon potential has emerged as a frontier topic in the interdisciplinary field of nuclear and astrophysics.

For astrophysicists, neutron stars stand out as objects of irresistible fascination — perhaps, in part, because of how difficult they are to decipher. But calculations conducted on the Frontier ...

The team used a supercomputer to simulate the fusion of two neutron stars 1.25 times and 1.65 times the mass of the sun, up to about 1.5 seconds after they merge.

The zombie neutron star is extremely dense, holding about as much mass as one to two Suns, in a sphere that only spans about 20km in diameter, so the resulting extreme gravitational field means ...
