Delve into the enigmatic realm of neutron stars—stellar remnants that defy our conventional understanding. Once blazing stars ...

Scientists reveal how two unstable nuclei trigger neutron star explosions and power intense X-ray bursts across the universe.

Scientists have precisely measured two unstable atomic nuclei that play a crucial role in explosive X-ray bursts on neutron stars. The results reveal faster nuclear reactions than previously thought, ...

Astronomers report the discovery of a new binary system, designated LAMOST J065816.72+094343.1. The newfound binary consists ...

In a zesty new discovery, scientists have unearthed a strange lemon-shaped exoplanet. It is unlike one we have seen before, ...

Astrophysicists are closing in on one of the strangest possibilities in stellar evolution, a compact remnant that might sit ...

A research team led by Caltech may have just discovered the first-ever superkilonova, a cosmic phenomenon in which a star explodes twice in violently different ways. Their analysis of a series of ...

After detecting a strange combination of signals in the summer of 2025, astronomers believe they may have captured the first evidence of a unique phenomenon previously theorized, but never observed: a ...

A newly discovered exoplanet is rewriting the rules of what planets can be. Orbiting a city-sized neutron star, this Jupiter-mass world has a bizarre carbon-rich atmosphere filled with soot clouds and ...

Hypervelocity stars (HVS) are celestial bodies moving at speeds sufficient to escape the Milky Way's gravitational pull, with a primary proposed origin involving binary star interactions with the ...

Caltech astronomer Mansi Kasliwal and her colleagues were not expecting to chase a mystery that blurred the line between a supernova and a kilonova. Yet that is where the evidence has led after an ...
