Some of the densest objects in the universe are neutron stars. Neutron stars are the remnants of stellar cores left behind when a star has gone supernova. The only known objects denser than neutron ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a few ...

Neutron stars, these cosmic remnants resulting from the catastrophic explosion of massive stars, represent one of the most mysterious objects in our Universe. Their extreme density and internal ...

Astrophysicists modeling the insides of neutron stars have found that the extremely compact objects have different internal structures, depending on their mass. They suggest thinking of the stars as ...

A dense, collapsed star spinning 707 times per second — making it one of the fastest spinning neutron stars in the Milky Way galaxy — has shredded and consumed nearly the entire mass of its stellar ...

WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - Magnetars are among the universe's most extreme objects - a class of the compact stellar remnants called neutron stars that possess immensely strong magnetic fields.

WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - Astronomers have observed the most massive known example of an object called a neutron star, one classified as a "black widow" that got particularly hefty by gobbling ...

Sweet new research suggests that some neutron stars have stiff mantles and soft cores, while others have soft exteriors and stiff hearts, just like different types of chocolates. When you purchase ...

An unusual infrared emission detected by the Hubble Space Telescope from a nearby neutron star could indicate that the pulsar has features never before seen. The observation, by a team of researchers ...
