An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. Led by scientists from Newcastle University, University of Leeds and France, the ...

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments. The ...

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of the sun. These stars develop oxygen-neon-magnesium cores, which become ...

XRISM’s observations of GX13+1 revealed a slow, fog-like wind instead of the expected high-speed blast, challenging existing models of radiation-driven outflows. The discovery hints that temperature ...

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars. These mergers are known to generate gravitational waves, energy-carrying ...

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 ...

How fast can a neutron star spin? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international team of more than a dozen researchers have identified one of ...

"The best-case scenario for axions is Fermi catches a supernova. It's just that the chance of that is small." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

Astrophysicists are closing in on one of the strangest possibilities in stellar evolution, a compact remnant that might sit ...
