As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and structure, potentially revealing clues as to what lies within them.

Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

Seismological research is directly related to the incubation, occurrence, and evolution of earthquakes. Scientists seek to reveal potential earthquake precursors by monitoring the stress state of ...

Some white dwarfs in rapid binary orbits are far hotter and larger than theory predicts. Researchers found that powerful tidal forces between them generate enough heat to inflate their sizes and ...
