NASA supercomputer simulations reveal X-ray and gamma-ray signals emitted in the final milliseconds before neutron star mergers, providing insights for future observatories and gravitational-wave ...

In the final moments before two neutron stars collide, their magnetic fields spiral into chaos, twisting and snapping as they ...

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a visual frequency scale (at left) track the steady rise in the frequency of ...

Volume rendering of density in a simulation of a binary neutron star merger. New research shows that neutrinos created in the hot interface between the merging stars can be briefly trapped and remain ...

Rochester Institute of Technology is advancing computer simulations to predict, for the first time, the complete cycle of neutron stars merging with other neutron stars or black holes. These extreme ...

The transformation of neutrinos in a neutron star merger could be crucial to shaping the way events of the collision unfold. For the first time, a team of physicists has simulated how neutrinos change ...

FRANKFURT. Neutron stars, with a mass greater than that of the entire solar system confined within a nearly perfect sphere just a dozen kilometers in diameter, are among the most fascinating ...

(Nanowerk News) When stars collapse, they can leave behind incredibly dense but relatively small and cold remnants called neutron stars. If two stars collapse in close proximity, the leftover binary ...
