Kilonova explosions from neutron star collisions may damage atmospheres and threaten life if nearby, according to a new study ...

The result is a system with two neutron stars orbiting each other ... to take over and drag these extremely dense dead stars ...

A machine learning method has the potential to revolutionize multi-messenger astronomy. Detecting binary neutron star mergers ...

and astrophysicists predicted that as two compact objects -- especially neutron stars -- collide, they should emit gamma-rays in jets," LIGO scientist Vicky Kalogera said during a press conference.

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other.

Two possible sites are currently being investigated ... They are created, for example, when black holes or neutron stars collide. The future gravitational wave detector, the Einstein Telescope ...

and when two particularly massive objects -- like two black holes or two neutron stars -- collide, they can ripple space-time sending those gravitational waves out into space like ripples on a pond.

Messengers: When two neutron stars merge, they emit gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation. Detecting and analysing these signals can provide profound insights into the underlying processes ...

Plutonium discovered at the bottom of the ocean was found to be refuse from a kilonova that exploded close to Earth 10 million years ago. Kilonovas occur when binary neutron stars spiral closer and ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars are when ... masses between one and two times the mass of our sun ...
