An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars ...

When massive stars explode as supernovae, they can leave behind neutron stars. Other than black holes, these are the densest ...

A research team led by McGill identifies neutron stars as the likely source of fast radio bursts, one of the universe's most ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other emitting radio pulses every two hours.

Astronomers have finally traced mysterious radio pulses in the Milky Way to a unique cosmic duo—a red dwarf and a white dwarf ...

In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly ...

Merging neutron stars give themselves away through gravitational waves. However, there is not much time left to observe the ...

Astronomers have figured out where a stream of long radio bursts is coming from, and its origin is unprecedented. Rather than ...
