Neutron Star

Scientists have found evidence that either the biggest neutron star or the smallest black hole has collided with another black hole

The object is heavier than the presumed 2.5-solar-mass cap on neutron star size, but smaller than the most lightweight black hole ever observed.

'Infant magnetar': 240 yo neutron star spotted after recent X-ray burst, youngest recorded

It has a magnetic field 1,000 times stronger than a typical neutron star and some 100 million times stronger than the most powerful artificial magnets.

Missing remains of 1987 supernova tracked down as dust clouds continue to shroud its neutron star

For the very first time, scientists can tell there's a neutron star inside a debris cloud within a supernova remnant.

Record-setting X-ray burst from a pulsar captured by a 'NICE' telescope on the space station

Turns out researchers caught something extra in this particular pulsar — a signature, in the form of a huge thermonuclear flash

Gravitational waves have been detected, scientists unsure where they're from

Scientists think it might have originated from a neutron star merger 500 million light-years from Earth.

AstroSat's first images capture a supernova that's over 10,000 light-years away

Tycho supernova, the remnant of which Astrosat captured, holds a special place in our history.

Gravitational wave detectors could see a boost with tech from a new study

The two US-based LIGOs and Europe's Virgo are the only highly-sensitive detectors currently in play.

Merger of neutron star may have led to birth of the lowest mass black hole ever found reveal NASA scientists

If it is indeed a black hole, astronomers expect it to continue to become fainter that has recently been observed as the shock wave weakens.

NASA discovers rare neutron star outside of Milky Way and releases a stunning image of it

The neutron star discovered using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is a rare variety that has both a low magnetic field and no stellar companion.
