Neutron star

Normal matter consists of atoms that have protons, neutrons, and electrons. In the case of neutron stars, the atomic matter is known to crumble...

Magnetars are highly magnetized young neutron stars that occasionally produce enormous bursts and flares of X-rays and gamma-rays. Astronomers recently detected one such intense radio...

Scientists at the University of Birmingham have developed a new gravitational-wave model that can bring neutron stars into even sharper focus. The model could...

Magnetars comprise a group of isolated neutron stars with powerful magnetic fields, which fully determine the emission properties of these systems. They slow down...

Be/X-ray binaries (BeXRBs) are a class of high-mass X-ray binaries that consist of a Be star and a neutron star, orbiting around a rapidly...

In collaboration with the international colleagues, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute; AEI), have published their second Open...

The effect is a consequence of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.

This would be only the second time this type of event has ever been observed in gravitational waves.

It is a very intriguing object.

It is the interplay of turbulence and reconnection of super-strong magnetic fields.

The leftovers from a spectacular supernova that revolutionised our understanding of how stars end their lives have finally been spotted.

Astronomers studying black holes in our galaxy, the Milky Way, have discovered what they believe to be a new type of black hole- the smallest black hole ever.
