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

An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe. The team used advanced numerical simulations to model the magneto-thermal ...

This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments. The ...

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of millions of years, these stars progressively cool down, radiating heat into ...

Astrophysicists are closing in on one of the strangest possibilities in stellar evolution, a compact remnant that might sit ...

The field of astrophysics continues to probe the extreme regimes of matter and gravity through studies of neutron stars and black holes. These compact objects, forged in the aftermath of stellar ...

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 ...

"The best-case scenario for axions is Fermi catches a supernova. It's just that the chance of that is small." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

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 ...
