Astrophysicists are closing in on one of the strangest possibilities in stellar evolution, a compact remnant that might sit ...

This artist's animation shows a hypothe sized event known as a superkilonova . Initially, a massive star explodes in a supernova, which generates elements like carbon and iron. In the aftermath, two ...

Scientists measured phosphorus-26 and sulfur-27 atoms with high precision. Discovery shows neutron star explosions are stronger and faster than thought. Findings improve models of element formation ...

Neutron stars are some of the most extreme phenomenon in the universe. It's doubly so for a subset known as pulsars. Some are spinning so fast, and are so massive, that astronomers aren't entirely ...
