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

NASA supercomputer simulations reveal X-ray and gamma-ray signals emitted in the final milliseconds before neutron star mergers, providing insights for future observatories and gravitational-wave ...

Before two dead stars slam together in one of the universe’s most violent events, their magnetic fields erupt in a storm so ...

In a major breakthrough, scientists have simulated in unprecedented detail how a neutron star cracks just seconds before being swallowed by a black hole. The simulation, led by Caltech astrophysicist ...

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 ...
