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 ...

A distant neutron star has abruptly erupted in brightness, surging to roughly one hundred times its usual output and leaving astronomers scrambling to explain what could drive such a violent change.

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 ...

Neutron stars escape collapse into a black hole thanks to degeneracy pressure produced by their neutrons, which is able to fight the crushing force of gravity. What exactly lies at the heart of a ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

How fast can a neutron star spin? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international team of more than a dozen researchers have identified one of ...

Astrophysicists are closing in on one of the strangest possibilities in stellar evolution, a compact remnant that might sit ...
