Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

A flash of high-energy radiation that rippled through space in December 2004 may have quietly rewritten part of the story for how the universe forges its heaviest elements — including gold, platinum ...

(CNN) — Astronomers have been trying to determine the cosmic origins of the heaviest elements, like gold, for decades. Now, new research based on a signal uncovered in archival space mission data may ...

What can magnetized stars, commonly called magnetars, teach astronomers about the distribution of heavy elements throughout the universe? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical ...

On the outskirts of the Milky Way, one of the rarest kinds of stars in the galaxy has just become even more mysterious than it was before. Astronomers have used the Hubble and Gaia telescopes to study ...

A magnetar known to scientists for 17 years might not have come from a supernova, like the rest of its ultra-magnetic brethren. But where did it form, then? The Hubble Space Telescope is on the case.

An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe. The team used advanced numerical simulations to model the magneto-thermal ...
