Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts.

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars.

Astronomers have discovered that the magnetar SGR 0501+4516 is speeding through our galaxy at more than 110,000 mph. This ...

Neutron stars are the densest objects in the universe after they form from supernova crashes of massive stars. These mysterious bodies have fascinated researchers throughout the last several decades, ...

Astronomers have discovered a second long-sought production site of gold, uranium and other heavy elements — and answered a ...

Recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have dramatically reshaped our understanding of a planet’s ...

Astronomers found a fast-moving 'zombie star' in the Milky Way. This magnetar, named SGR 0501+4516, has a strong magnetic field. It travels at 110,000 mph. Discovered in 2008, it's 15,000 light ...

Astronomers have tracked this bizarre “zombie star” moving at more than 110,000 mph, far faster than they expected. This rare stellar remnant is known as a magnetar. It's a type of neutron ...

These are then expelled out into space as the star is ripped apart. The neutron-forming process proposed by the researchers could also help to explain another unusual astrophysical phenomena—why ...

Kilonovas have been primarily associated with the collision of two neutron stars or the merger of a neutron star and a black hole. These intense collisions are one possible method for confirming ...
