See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a ...

Physicists at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, have used supercomputer simulations to predict a specific gravitational-wave fingerprint that would confirm quark-gluon plasma forms inside the ...

GRB 230906A, a short gamma-ray burst first detected in 2023, points to a faint galaxy embedded within a long stream of torn ...

A powerful "gamma-ray burst" has been seen exploding from merging neutron stars hidden within a previously unknown mini-galaxy leftover from an ancient cosmic crash. The "collision within a collision" ...

Scientists analyzing a gravitational-wave signal have discovered that a neutron star and black hole spiraled together on an oval-shaped orbit just before merging. This unusual motion, detected in the ...

Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of ...

Scientists have found the first strong evidence that a neutron star and a black hole merged while travelling in an oval-shaped orbit ...

A newly analyzed gravitational-wave event has revealed something unexpected about one of the Universe’s most violent encounters. Scientists have found the first strong evidence that a black hole and a ...

The violent collision of two neutron stars is providing new insights on how the universe’s heaviest elements were created.

Researchers said this event, called GRB 230906A, is likely in a stream of gas located about 4.7 billion light-years from Earth.

A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known ...

A new theoretical framework shows that tidal forces in inspiraling neutron star pairs can be described through oscillation modes, opening a new path to studying ultra-dense matter using gravitational ...
