A microquasar belonging to our Milky Way galaxy has set records by generating cosmic rays with energy levels never before ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a ...

Neutron stars are the leftover cores of exploded stars and the densest known material in the universe. A typical neutron star has a mass a few times the mass of the sun, compressed into a region ...

If you know me, you know that I’ve always been the queen of rewatching old shows that I’ve just come to love more and more as I’ve gotten older. From cartoon classics to live-action comedies, there ...

Neutron stars as magnifying glasses. The idea of the axion as a dark matter particle is nice, but in physics an idea is only truly nice if it has observable consequences.

Smash-ups between dead neutron stars create and trap ultrahot ghost particles called neutrinos, new simulations have shown. The discovery could help us better understand how elements like gold are ...

The three exceptionally cool neutron stars identified are PSR J0205+6449, PSR B2334+61, and CXOU J0852−4617, located within the supernova remnants 3C 58, SNR G114.3+0.3, and SNR Vela Jr ...

This neutron star is only 12 miles from end to end, yet weighs 1 1/2 times our sun. It's densely packed with little space between parts of its atoms.

This neutron star is only 12 miles (20 kilometers) from end to end, yet weighs 1 1/2 times our sun. It’s densely packed with little space between parts of its atoms.

Astronomers have found evidence that a neutron star exists at the centre of the only exploding star – supernova – visible to the naked eye in the last 400 years, solving a 30-year-old mystery.
