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

Fast radio bursts originate near neutron stars, revealing their magnetically chaotic environments and scintillation patterns.

These measurements from the world's gravitational wave observatories put constraints on the masses and spins of the merging objects such as black holes and neutron stars, and in turn this ...

To-date, all the gravitational waves that have been detected originated from black hole-black hole mergers, neutron star-neutron star mergers, or mergers of one of each. But collapsing supernovae ...

"Neutron stars are massive gravitational monsters, and orbiting one wouldn't end up well for our planet. But what if we took just a spoonful of it and transported it to Earth?

From a telescope network that spans much of the globe to a psychology study that spans 67 countries, here are the biggest ...

Ripples in the gravitational field of the universe, known as gravitational waves, are remnants of massive galactic events such as black hole collisions and merging neutron stars. These waves may even ...

The advance could one day allow scientists to see farther into the universe and provide more information about how black holes and neutron stars behave as they merge. Large-scale interferometers such ...
