Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence powered simulation that could significantly improve our understanding of how the universe ...

Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion, formed via common envelope evolution. Although such systems ...

A new study showing how the explosion of a stripped massive star in a supernova can lead to the formation of a heavy neutron star or a light black hole resolves one of the most challenging puzzles to ...

Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars after a supernova, are among the densest and most fascinating objects in the universe. Recent discoveries have indicated that some neutron stars are ...
