In the past three years, astronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of radio source. We call these long-period transients.

A puzzling new type of radio signal – lasting seconds to minutes – has been linked to a binary star system featuring a white ...

While some researchers have suggested that it could be a neutron star, others have questioned this hypothesis, instead suggesting that it might be a white dwarf. Notably, these two types of stars ...

Scientists have captured a special kind of radio signal from a galaxy that’s nearly 9 billion light-years away from the Earth ...

There are some stars of this type, known as red dwarfs ... The dense core that is left over is known as a neutron star. These are much denser versions of white dwarfs, but they are actually smaller, ...

When massive stars explode as supernovae, they can leave behind neutron stars. Other than black holes, these are the densest ...

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.

For the first time, scientists have directly measured a weak r-process reaction using a radioactive ion beam, shedding light ...

The researchers propose that these types of features could be inferred by studying the continuous gravitational wave signals of neutron stars; the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave ...

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 ...
