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

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

For the first time, scientists have directly measured a weak r-process reaction using a radioactive ion beam, shedding light ...

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 puzzling new type of radio signal – lasting seconds to minutes – has been linked to a binary star system featuring a white ...

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 ...

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

When a star dies, there are a few stellar objects that can be left behind, from the relatively mundane white dwarf to the enigmatic black hole. But in between these two extremes lies the neutron ...

Neural network registers gravitational wave signal from neutron star collisions early on and shows telescopes where to find ...
