Researchers have discovered that the neutron star in the binary system 4U 1820-30 rotates at an astonishing speed of 716 times per second, making it one of the fastest-spinning objects ever observed ...

Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars after a supernova, are among the densest and most fascinating objects in the universe. Recent discoveries have indicated that some neutron stars are ...

New ultraviolet observations indicate a Milky Way star is spinning nearly 200 times faster than Earth’s sun, the probable result of a merger between two sun-like stars whose binary orbit recently ...

Our grasp of how stars rotate is "insufficient," with implications on our ability to understand the causes of phenomena on the sun like solar flares and coronal mass ejections that cause aurora and ...
