See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a ...
In the final moments before two neutron stars collide, their magnetic fields spiral into chaos, twisting and snapping as they ...
"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, ...
Astro Brief is a collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and ...
New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how the merger unfolds, including the composition and structure of the merger ...
Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of the sun. These stars develop oxygen-neon-magnesium cores, which become ...
