A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest ...

Scientists analyzing a gravitational-wave signal have discovered that a neutron star and black hole spiraled together on an ...

Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of ...

Astronomers have tracked a powerful blast of radiation back to its source, finding a neutron star collision within colliding galaxies.

In 2020, astronomers discovered a violent cosmic event that has led them to rethink how extreme pairs of astronomical objects form. These pairs are capable of producing powerful cosmic collisions.

Scientists have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to unlock secrets hidden within the ...

Scientists believe this long stream of gas may have formed when several galaxies collided millions of years ago.

Scientists have uncovered the first robust evidence of a black hole and neutron star crashing together but orbiting in an ...

GRB 230906A, a short gamma-ray burst first detected in 2023, points to a faint galaxy embedded within a long stream of torn ...

Neutron stars—the dense remnants of massive stellar explosions—and their presence in X‐ray binaries serve as natural laboratories for extreme physics. In these systems, matter is transferred from a ...

Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...
