Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other.

Neutron stars may be shrouded in axions Physicists show that neutron stars may be shrouded in clouds of 'axions' -- and that these clouds can teach us a lot Date: October 18, 2024 Source ...

A team of physicists from the universities of Amsterdam, Princeton and Oxford have shown that extremely light particles known as axions may occur in large clouds around neutron stars. These axions ...

(via PBS Space Time) Neutron stars aren't dark matter--we figured that out a while ago. But new research is telling us that they may be dark matter factories. They may produce the exotic axion, one of ...

If possible, this could help scientists determine if the massive dying star that launches the detected supernova leaves a ...

Because of these uncertainties, we still don't know just where and how the r-process occurs, though there is general consensus that it happens in Type-II supernovae when neutron stars are born.

Using the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), an international team of astronomers have detected very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-rays around the pulsar PSR J0248+6021, which may be ...

What if a tablespoonful of a neutron star was brought to Earth? Caroline Adams Before we can know what happens when our ...

The collapsed remnants are known as neutron stars. There are thousands of them in our galaxy, and they're the densest observable objects in the universe. Astrophysicist Daniel Reardon says a ...

On average, a neutron star has 1.4 times the density of the Sun. However, the Sun is more than a million kilometres wide. The typical neutron star, on the other hand, is smaller than the average city.

The neutron plays a fundamental role in the universe and its discovery was at the heart of developments in nuclear physics in the first half of the 20th Century. Prof Val Gibson tells Melvyn Bragg ...

More massive stars than the Sun have a very different life cycle and follow the right hand path in the diagram above: \({Nebula}\rightarrow{protostar}\rightarrow{main~sequence~star}\rightarrow{red ...
