Today, let's talk about a major news item in the field of astronomy regarding the new discovery of neutron star mass distribution. This is quite significant and may overturn our previous understanding ...

"However, at 2.6 times the mass of our sun, it exceeds modern predictions for the maximum mass of neutron stars, and may instead be the lightest black hole ever detected." ...

Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars after a supernova, are among the densest and most fascinating objects in the ...

A fast-spinning neutron star south of the constellation Leo is the most massive of its kind seen so far, according to new observations. The record-setting collapsed star, named PSR J0952-0607 ...

Dark matter could gather at the heart of Jupiter-sized worlds, eventually creating a black hole that eats its way out of its ...

Neutron stars may not remain a mystery for much longer, as an x-ray pulsar named J1749.4-2807 may yet reveal their secrets.

Neutron stars pulse, for example, and observing the behavior of a pulsing neutron star that orbits another neutron star enables you to determine the mass of both.

A year ago, a puzzling gap existed between black holes and neutron stars. With nearly a year of new data, LIGO solves the puzzle.

A neutron star packs the mass of the Sun into a sphere only a few miles wide. Standing on its surface would unleash gravity ...

Several researchers have also suggested that NICER might be able to find two neutron stars with the same mass but different radii. That would suggest the presence of a transition point, at which ...
