A white dwarf and a red dwarf star have been discovered closely orbiting each other emitting radio pulses every two hours.

Astronomers say they have traced a mysterious pulsing in the Milky Way to a surprising source: a dead star locked in a dance ...

"If a massive star were to explode as a supernova close to the Earth, the results would be devastating for life on Earth," said Nick Wright, an astrophysicist at Keele University in the United Kingdom ...

A breakthrough simulation reveals how magnetars form and evolve, solving a key mystery about their magnetic origins.

In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly ...

A decade-long radio mystery has finally been solved: astronomers have linked repeating pulses to a white dwarf and red dwarf ...

we get to see everything from the outside. We see before, during, and after the moment of birth of the atoms." Neutron stars ...

A mysterious, one-off flash of energy from an unknown object outside the Milky Way ... One of those stars would be a small, super-dense neutron star and the other would be some sort of orbiting ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into "cosmic tuning forks." The reverberations of such ripples in spacetime ...

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 ...
