We could soon be able to "see" inside a neutron star and learn what extreme matter governed by exotic physics lurks there, thanks to the imprint of tidal interactions on gravitational waves emitted by ...

The catastrophic collision of a black hole and a neutron star sent ripples across the universe. New analysis of those ripples could upend a major theory about how these extreme pairs form. When you ...

In 2020, astronomers discovered a violent cosmic event that has led them to rethink how extreme pairs of astronomical objects form. These pairs are capable of producing powerful cosmic collisions. The ...

The study shows how some stars churn out heavy elements with no roadblock.

Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned physicists. Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars that have exploded as ...
