A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest building blocks in nature: atomic nuclei. In new research published in Nature ...
Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of ...
Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's magnetosphere is the "magic trick" behind superbright supernovas.
Most gamma-ray bursts—the brightest, most powerful explosions in the universe—are tracked back to the deaths of massive stars. But a new discovery suggests that such enormous explosions can come from ...
GW200105 reveals an eccentric orbit before merger, challenging formation models.

Astronomers capture the birth of a magnetar in supernova explosion
Astronomers have for the first time observed the birth of a magnetar, a highly magnetized, rapidly spinning neutron star, directly linked to some of the universe’s brightest exploding stars. This ...
"What's really exciting is that this is definitive evidence for a magnetar forming as the result of a superluminous supernova core collapse," explained Alex Filippenko, a UC Berkeley distinguished ...
The final dance of a black hole and a neutron star before their ultimate merger has been revealed, according to new research.
