June 26 (UPI) --Scientists have developed new models to estimate the size of neutron stars. The models, powered by gravitational wave data, helped astrophysicists establish new more precise upper ...

The exact characteristics of Neutron stars, the densest objects in the Universe, are still unknown. Scientists have managed to narrow down the size of neutron stars with the aid of computer ...

Neutron stars, these cosmic remnants resulting from the catastrophic explosion of massive stars, represent one of the most ...

A typical neutron star measures 22 kilometers (13.6 miles) wide, according to new research. It’s the most accurate measurement yet of these highly compact, super-dense objects. If black holes are the ...

(Nanowerk News) Atomic nuclei are normally compact structures defined by a sharp border. About twenty-five years ago, it was discovered at the University of California in Berkeley that there are ...

Neutron stars are made out of cold ultra-dense matter. How this matter behaves is one of the biggest mysteries in modern nuclear physics. Researchers developed a new method for measuring the radius of ...

Neutrons stars are unimaginably dense, and perhaps even the densest-known objects in the entire universe. They can be as small as a city and contain just as much matter as a star would. Image Credit: ...

In August, scientists caught their first-ever glimpse of two superdense neutron stars colliding, setting off ripples of gravitational waves that reached Earth. Now, a team of researchers has taken ...

A recent measurement of a rapidly spinning neutron star has disproved what was regarded as a credible picture of the star’s center. The centers of neutron stars are stiff and not squishy. Neutron ...

FRANKFURT. How large is a neutron star? Previous estimates varied from eight to sixteen kilometres. Astrophysicists at the Goethe University Frankfurt and the FIAS have now succeeded in determining ...

When a very massive star dies, its core contracts. In a supernova explosion, the star’s outer layers are expelled, leaving behind an ultra-compact neutron star. For the first time, the LIGO and Virgo ...
