"The detection of this signal has the potential to reveal what neutron stars are made of." Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves ...

Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt have identified a new way to probe the interior of neutron stars using gravitational waves from their collisions. By analyzing the "long ringdown" phase ...

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 ...

Prior to the discovery of FRBs, the most powerful bursts observed in the Milky Way were produced by neutron stars, which are visible from up to 100,000 light-years away. However, according to new ...

Starquakes, or seismic events in neutron stars, are offering scientists an exciting new way to study nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers are delving into the ...

Neutron stars, with a mass greater than that of the entire solar system confined within a nearly perfect sphere just a dozen kilometers in diameter, are among the most fascinating astrophysical ...

They are believed to originate from cataclysmic processes involving compact celestial objects such as neutron stars, and they typically last a few milliseconds. However, astronomers have recently ...

Feb. 7, 2025 — 'Temperamental' stars that brighten and dim over a matter of hours or days may be distorting our view of thousands of distant planets, suggests a new ...

The biggest stories of the day delivered to your inbox.

We analytically explore the growth of the magnetic field during a pulsar’s early history, a period shortly after supernova explosion from which the neutron star forms, encompassing the hypercritical ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are intense flashes of radio light that last for only a fraction of a second. They are likely caused by the intense magnetic fields of a magnetar, which is a highly magnetic ...

The stamps highlight two celestial wonders captured by the Webb Telescope: the spiral galaxy NGC 628 and the star cluster IC 348. The Spiral Galaxy Priority Mail stamp features NGC 628, located 32 ...
