This binary system comprises a PSR J1928+1815 along with a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar known as the Helium Star Companion. The AI impression of the compact…
Chinese and Australian astrophysicists have discovered that neutron stars’ birth rates can be described by a unimodal distribution that smoothly turns on at a solar mass…
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays are the highest energy particles in the universe, and their energy is more than one million times greater than what humans can…
While the solar system’s moons such as Europa and Enceladus have thin crusts over deep oceans, Mercury has a thin crust over a large metallic core.…
A new study has provided the first definitive evidence that fast radio bursts can originate from the magnetosphere, the highly magnetic environment immediately surrounding very compact…
The neutron star in X-ray binary system 4U 1820-30 rotates 716 times per second, the fastest rate ever observed, according to an analysis of data collected…
Since the 1920s, Edwin Hubble Ever since it was discovered that the universe is expanding, astrophysicists have been asking themselves the question, “Where does matter come…
Neutron stars typically spin quickly, taking just a few seconds or even a fraction of a second to complete one revolution around their axis, but one…
A team of particle physicists from the University of Melbourne, Australian National University, King’s College London, and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has discovered that the energy…
SN 1987A is the only supernova visible to the naked eye in the past 400 years and the most studied supernova in history. This event was…
A neutron star is the collapsed core of a massive starwww.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg3005 Some 40,000 light-years away, a strange object could be either the heaviest neutron star or…
The core of a neutron star contains the highest density of matter in the universe. This highly compressed matter can undergo a phase transition in which…
