The observation of gravitational waves and light from a merging neutron-star binary system has allowed scientists to tighten constraints on the radius of a neutron star ...

The field of astrophysics continues to probe the extreme regimes of matter and gravity through studies of neutron stars and black holes. These compact objects, forged in the aftermath of stellar ...

Neutron stars explained through the final moments of massive stars reveal some of the most extreme objects in the universe. When stars between eight and twenty times the Sun's mass exhaust their ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how the merger unfolds, including the composition and structure of the merger ...

Over 100 years after the formulation of the theory of general relativity by Albert Einstein and more than 30 years after the first discovery of a binary neutron star system, the gravitational wave ...
