Neutron star
Scientists discovered the slowest-spinning radio-emitting neutron star
Most collapsed stars rotate faster than once per second. This one takes nearly an hour.
Direct measurement of reaction in neutron star binaries
The rate of this reaction plays a major role in informing models of XRBs.
Advancing gravitational wave detection: Probing neutron star and black hole collisions
Alerts can now be sent less than 30 seconds after detection.
Astronomers observed jets of matter being expelled 3X the speed of light
‘Cosmic Cannibals’ expel jets into space at 40% speed of light.
A large black hole that “hiccups,” giving off plumes of gas
Persistent “hiccups” in a far-off galaxy draw astronomers to new black hole behavior.
3D simulations of X-ray bursts on the surfaces of neutron stars
Exploring exotic stellar phenomena.
Neutron star mergers: New physics signals
With implications for determining the true nature of dark matter.
MIT physicists capture the first sounds of heat “sloshing” in a superfluid
The results will expand scientists’ understanding of heat flow in superconductors and neutron stars.
Evidence found: Supernova give rise to black holes or neutron stars
Origin of black holes proven.
Scientists modeled the different signatures of a kilonova explosion simultaneously
The goldmine of a neutron star collision.
Massive neutron stars hiding cores of deconfined quark matter
The result was reached through massive supercomputer runs utilizing Bayesian statistical inference.
