Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a few ...
Dark matter seems invisible, but it makes up most matter, and we have evidence that it gives the cosmos its shape. Now ...
Quantum computing and neutron star physics are converging on the same hard problem: how to describe matter when gravity and quantum mechanics both refuse to stay in the background. Researchers are ...
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 ...

Quark stars may reveal a terrifying new kind of stellar corpse
Astrophysicists are closing in on one of the strangest possibilities in stellar evolution, a compact remnant that might sit ...

Neutron stars—the dense remnants of massive stellar explosions—and their presence in X‐ray binaries serve as natural laboratories for extreme physics. In these systems, matter is transferred from a ...
A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used Frontier to chart the isospin density of a neutron star over a range of conditions. This illustration depicts isospin-dense ...
Artist’s impression of the powerful winds blowing from the bright X-ray source GX13+1. The X-rays are coming from a disc of hot matter, known as an accretion disc, that is gradually spiralling down to ...
The field of astrophysics continues to probe the extreme regimes of matter and gravity through studies of neutron stars and black holes. These compact objects, forged in the aftermath of stellar ...
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 ...
