Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

The newborn magnetar, a specific kind of neutron star, actually enhances the brightness of a supernova.

idea may explain why some neutron stars emit mysterious flickering X-rays. Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of massive stars. They pack roughly one-and-a-half times the mass of our Sun into a ...

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 ...
