A new simulation created using a NASA supercomputer has shown how things get messy for merging neutron stars even before they slam together; their magnetospheres, the most powerful magnetic fields in ...

Across the cosmos, many stars can be found in pairs, gracefully circling one another. Yet one of the most dramatic pairings occurs between two orbiting black holes, formed after their massive ...

A collaboration between quantum physicists and astrophysicists has achieved a significant breakthrough in understanding neutron star glitches. They were able to numerically simulate this enigmatic ...
