The study of 'starquakes' (like earthquakes, but in stars) promises to give us important new insights into the properties of neutron stars (the ...

Neutron star "mountains" would be much more massive than any on Earth—so massive that gravity just from these mountains could produce small oscillations, or ripples, in the fabric of space and time.

Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon ...

"Leveraging this understanding, we then solved the differential equations describing the balance of forces between the QCD axion field, nuclear matter, and gravity within a neutron star ...

If it’s real, some may question whether something with a mass about three times Pluto’s counts as a planet at all.

Gravity from mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars produces ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) searches for ...

The neutron star itself is fairly normal ... the pulsar and inner white dwarf respond to the more distant dwarf’s gravity identically, as Einstein and Galileo predicted, or if their different ...

There is a lot of complicated but beautiful physics in understanding how this explosion takes place,” says Purdue University ...

“Popular neutron star origin models can effectively be split ... stars explode in a “core collapse” supernova, or when gravity triggers a star to collapse on itself. But FRB 20240209A ...

Among the most remarkable discoveries has been the identification of a fast radio outburst (FRB) by researchers at Northwestern and McGill Universities.

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams is gearing up for her second spacewalk in a fortnight. The extravehicular activity (EVA) will take place on tomorrow (January 30), and will last for about 6.5 hours.
