Merging neutron stars are excellent targets for multi-messenger astronomy. This modern and still very young method of ...

Across the cosmos, many stars can be found in pairs, gracefully circling one another. Yet one of the most dramatic pairings ...

A new simulation by researchers shows how a neutron star violently cracks seconds before vanishing into a black hole.

Astronomers may have discovered a rare type of binary star system, where one star used to orbit inside its partner.

First detected in 2015, gravitational waves may not have had a direct hand in human evolution, but it certainly helped set ...

What if black holes weren’t the only things slowly vanishing from existence? Scientists have now shown that all dense cosmic ...

As telescopes gaze into space, they also peer back in time. Starlight takes years—sometimes billions—to reach Earth, letting ...

A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron star collisions ... crucial for interpreting gravitational wave data from current and ...

"The appearance of such structures sheds new light on the sorts of mathematical objects that nature is built from." ...

They found that other dense cosmic bodies, like neutron stars and white dwarfs ... the same team argued that the intense gravitational pull of any compact object—not just a black hole—could ...

Dense cosmic objects like neutron stars and white dwarfs may decay faster than previously thought, challenging predictions.

There, a complex symphony of gravitational waves is being generated by a multitude of cosmic sources, including a supermassive black hole, binary black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs.
