Astronomers investigating mysterious flashes of X-rays believe that these blasts could hide collisions between neutron stars, ...

Astronomers suggest that a 10-minute X-ray burst may result from neutron star collisions, potentially creating elements like ...

The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray burst 200522A) was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope, ...

Astronomers have found strong evidence that some mysterious, minutes-long X-ray flashes are produced when two neutron stars ...

A neutron star collision produced an unusual nine-minute X-ray glow, possibly powered by a newborn magnetar that kept releasing energy after the blast.

A new study has identified a neutron star merger (bottom box) lurking within a tiny galaxy (upper box) that was found within part of a giant stream of gas and dust. (The neutron star merger is an ...

Second only to black holes, neutron stars—incredibly dense star remnants—are the densest objects in the universe. When neutron stars collide, they create ripples in the fabric of space and time that ...

Second only to black holes, neutron stars – incredibly dense star remnants – are the densest objects in the universe. When neutron stars collide, they create ripples in the fabric of space and time in ...

Newswise — A fleet of NASA missions has likely uncovered a collision between two ultradense stars in a tiny galaxy buried in a huge stream of gas. Astronomers have never seen this type of explosive ...

A bright burst of X-rays has been discovered by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory in a galaxy 6.6 billion light years from Earth. This event likely signaled the merger of two neutron stars — dense ...

Neutron stars are small stars with a diameter of about 15 kilometers and a mass 1.5 times greater than that of the Sun. Formed after the collapse of a massive star, they have an extremely high density ...
