NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has been collecting data on a kilonova—a powerful event illustrated here that happens when two neutron stars merge—associated with GW170817. This…
In this artist’s representation, the merger of two neutron stars to form a black hole (hidden within bright bulge at center of image) generated opposing,…
SISSA scientists provide the first simulation of neutron starA neutron star is the collapsed core of a large (between 10 and 29 solar masses) star.…
