A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other emitting radio pulses every two hours.

Locating sources of gravitational waves using artificial intelligence could enable astronomers to point telescopes at stellar ...

Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe. They are the core of a collapsed megastar that went supernova, ...

A new study from Keele University suggests that at least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by ...

Neutron stars are exotic and extremely compact stellar remnants. Only black holes have a higher mass density. While black holes colliding with each other can only be detected by the emitted ...

A breakthrough simulation reveals how magnetars form and evolve, solving a key mystery about their magnetic origins.

Astronomers have figured out where a stream of long radio bursts is coming from, and its origin is unprecedented. Rather than ...

Binary neutron star mergers occur millions of light-years away from Earth. Interpreting the gravitational waves they produce ...

Merging neutron stars give themselves away through gravitational waves. However, there is not much time left to observe the ...

Magnetars are a class of neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. These incredibly dense objects are central in the landscape of extreme phenomena such as hypernovae, fast ...

Binary neutron star mergers occur millions of light-years away from Earth. Interpreting the gravitational waves they produce presents a major challenge for traditional data-analysis methods.

It now takes just a fraction of a minute to detect neutron star mergers, thanks to advancements in a machine-learning-driven ...
