The blast may have been a kilonova — a type of neutron star merger — in the wake of a more traditional supernova.

Neutron stars are massive gravitational monsters, and orbiting one wouldn't end up well for our planet. But what if we took ...

In this video I show you what happens when you try to get close to 1 drop of a neutron star. I tell you how a neutron star is ...

Astronomers have spotted AT2025ulz, a rare dual explosion — a supernova and a kilonova — that may be the first-ever observed “superkilonova.” ...

Scientists have precisely measured two unstable atomic nuclei that play a crucial role in explosive X-ray bursts on neutron ...

Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...

American space agency NASA is working on a small satellite called StarBurst Multimessenger Pioneer that will be tasked with ...

A superkilonova candidate event, named AT2025ulz, was observed in 2025; LIGO and Virgo first spotted gravitational waves, ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how the merger unfolds, including the composition and structure of the merger ...

An international team of astronomers reports the detection of four new gamma-ray millisecond pulsars using the Murriyang radio telescope at the Parkes Observatory in Australia. The discovery was ...
