Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...
Although the first detection of gravitational waves in 2015 gets a lot of press, the detection of GW170817—the first binary neutron star collision—confirms how important gravitational waves likely are ...
Binary neutron star mergers emit gravitational waves followed by light. To fully exploit these observations and avoid missing key signals, speed is crucial. An interdisciplinary team of researchers ...
New research suggests that colliding neutron stars can briefly "trap" ghostly particles called neutrinos, which could reveal new secrets about some of space's most extreme events. When it comes to ...
The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be ...
The first direct detection of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time caused by the movements of massive cosmic objects, a decade ago 1 marked the start of a new era in astronomy. Gravitational ...
Image: Artist impression of a binary neutron star merger, emitting gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation. Detection and analysis of these signals can provide profound insights into the ...
