Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts.

The terminal forecast, while gloomy, may help "unravel" the mysteries of a curious form of radiation, researchers said.

There is also likely a forest of binary black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs. All of these emit gravitational waves as they gradually ... Astronomers have employed the Nuclear ...

Periodic radio emissions have been discovered in a binary system of white and red dwarf stars with an orbit time of 125 ...

"The creation of heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium necessitates extreme conditions," said physicist Matthew ...

A new study has found that such heavy metals may have formed through eruptions on a rare type of star called a magnetar.

These remnants, which also include white dwarf stars and neutron stars, are believed to last the longest as the rest of the matter in the universe fades. The most persistent of those remnants are ...

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars. These mergers are known to generate gravitational waves, energy-carrying ...

Now, new research based on a signal uncovered in archival space mission data may point to a potential clue: magnetars, or highly magnetized neutron stars. Scientists believe lighter elements such ...
