The surface features of neutron stars are largely unknown. Nuclear theorists explored mountain building mechanisms active on ...

Galactic gravity can dramatically impact wide binary stars, pushing them towards unexpected mergers or collisions. The ...

Plasma waves: Plasma is like a soup of charged particles, such as electrons and ions, which are extremely thin and widely ...

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 ...

The study of gravitational waves is another groundbreaking area in astronomy. First detected in 2015, these ripples in spacetime occur when massive objects, like black holes or neutron stars ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are notoriously difficult to study. They are flashes of radio light that can outshine a galaxy but ...

A mysterious radio blast from space detected in 2022 originated in the magnetic field of an ultra-dense neutron star 200 million light years away. Known as fast radio bursts, or FRB, such brief ...

A group of astronomers have made history by capturing an image of a record number of stars from a time when the universe was ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a unique image that revealed 44 individual stars in a galaxy 6.5 billion light ...

An international team of scientists has provided the clearest evidence yet that some fast radio bursts (FRBs)—enigmatic, ...

Dance of Electrons Measured in the Glow from Exploding Neutron-Stars Nov. 4, 2024 — The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of ...
