All around us are elements forged in stars, from the nickel and copper in coins to the gold and silver in jewelry. Scientists ...

This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments. The ...

The LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA collaboration searches the universe for gravitational waves produced by the mergers of black holes and neutron stars. It has now announced the detection of a signal indicating a ...

XRISM’s observations of GX13+1 revealed a slow, fog-like wind instead of the expected high-speed blast, challenging existing models of radiation-driven outflows. The discovery hints that temperature ...

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of ...

The celestial remnant that lingers after two neutron stars merge isn't like either of its parents. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works ...

The dense remains of massive stars generate powerful jets of gas and dust that move hundreds of millions of miles per hour, according to research published last week in Nature. When some massive stars ...

One of the most extreme things in the universe is neutron stars. They are the dense cores of the endless stars. They squeeze into a ball not more than 12 miles (20 kilometres) across three solar ...

Magnetars — the dense remains of dead stars that erupt sporadically with bursts of high-energy radiation — are some of the most extreme objects known in the universe. A major campaign using NASA’s ...

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. Led by scientists from Newcastle University, University of Leeds and France, the ...
