Record: fastest flashing star
Dutch researcher Steve van Straaten set a record during his doctoral research. The researcher registered the fastest ever change in the X-ray emission originating from a binary star. The record-breaking binary star consists of a neutron star and a lighter companion star. Astronomer Steve van Straaten studied the time variations in the X-ray emission from various binary stars. He found that one of... View More (2004-05-07)
'Weird science' uncovered inside neutron star
A University of Alberta astronomer has glimpsed the inner working of a neutron star and found a unique world where the physics can be described as "weird." Craig Heinke's team found the neutron star's core contained a superfluid, a friction-less liquid that could seemingly defy the laws of gravity. View More (2011-02-24)
ESA's XMM-Newton makes the first measurement of a dead star's magnetism
Using the superior sensitivity of ESA's X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, a team of European astronomers has made the first direct measurement of a neutron star's magnetic field. The results provide deep insights into the extreme physics of neutron stars and reveal a new mystery yet to be solved about the end of this star's life. A neutron star is very dense celestial object that usually has... View More (2003-06-11)
Discovery of 2 types of neutron stars points to 2 different classes of supernovae
Astronomers at the universities of Southampton and Oxford have found evidence that neutron stars, which are produced when massive stars explode as supernovae, actually come in two distinct varieties. View More (2011-11-10)
The case of the neutron star with a wayward wake
A long observation with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory revealed important new details of a neutron star that is spewing out a wake of high-energy particles as it races through space. View More (2006-06-02)
Chandra discovers cosmic cannonball
One of the fastest moving stars ever seen has been discovered with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This cosmic cannonball is challenging theories to explain its blistering speed. View More (2007-11-29)
Neutron stars join the black hole jet set
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed an X-ray jet blasting away from a neutron star in a binary system. View More (2007-06-28)
Carbon atmosphere discovered on neutron star
Evidence for a thin veil of carbon has been found on the neutron star in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant. This discovery, made with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, resolves a ten-year mystery surrounding this object. View More (2009-11-05)
XMM-Newton closes in on space`s exotic matter
ESA PR 69-2002. A fraction of a second after the Big Bang, all the primordial soup of matter in the Universe was `broken` into its most fundamental constituents. It was thought to have disappeared forever. However scientists strongly suspect that the exotic soup of dissolved matter can still be found in today`s Universe, in the core of certain very dense objects called neutron stars. With ESA`s...

Neutron star bites off more than it can chew
ESA's XMM-Newton space observatory has watched a faint star flare up at X-ray wavelengths to almost 10 000 times its normal brightness. Astronomers believe the outburst was caused by the star trying to eat a giant clump of matter. View More (2011-06-29)
XMM-Newton and Suzaku help pioneer method for probing exotic matter
Astronomers using XMM-Newton and Suzaku have seen Einstein's predicted distortion of space-time and pioneered a ground-breaking technique for determining the properties of neutron stars. View More (2007-08-28)
Astronomers Pioneer New Method For Probing Exotic Matter
Using European and Japanese/NASA X-ray satellites, astronomers have seen Einstein's predicted distortion of space-time around three neutron stars, and in doing so they have pioneered a groundbreaking technique for determining the properties of these ultradense objects. View More (2007-08-28)
Neutron stars warp space-time, U-M astronomers observe
Einstein's predicted distortion of space-time occurs around neutron stars, University of Michigan astronomers and others have observed. View More (2007-08-29)
Star crust 10 billion times stronger than steel, IU physicist finds
Research by a theoretical physicist at Indiana University shows that the crusts of neutron stars are 10 billion times stronger than steel or any other of the earth's strongest metal alloys. View More (2009-05-07)
Neutron stars can be more massive, while black holes are more rare, Arecibo Observatory finds
Neutron stars and black holes aren't all they've been thought to be. In fact, neutron stars can be considerably more massive than previously believed, and it is more difficult to form black holes, according to new research developed by using the Arecibo Observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.

Possible closest neutron star to Earth found
Using NASA's Swift satellite, McGill University and Penn State University astronomers have identified an object that is likely one of the closest neutron stars to Earth -- and possibly the closest. View More (2007-08-21)
Three satellites needed to bring out 'shy star'
An international team of scientists has uncovered a rare type of neutron star so elusive that it took three satellites to identify it View More (2005-07-14)
NASA'S Chandra Finds Superfluid in Neutron Star's Core
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has discovered the first direct evidence for a superfluid, a bizarre, friction-free state of matter, at the core of a neutron star. Superfluids created in laboratories on Earth exhibit remarkable properties, such as the ability to climb upward and escape airtight containers. View More (2011-02-24)
Hotter than expected neutron star surfaces help explain superburst frequency
A new theoretical thermometer built from heavy-duty mathematics and computer code suggests that the surfaces of certain neutron stars run significantly hotter than previously expected. Hot enough, in fact, to at least partially answer an open question in astrophysics — how to explain the observed frequency of ultra-violent explosions known as superbursts that sometimes ignite on such stars'...

Pulsar find boosts hope for gravity-wave hunters
Neutron star pairs may merge and give off a burst of gravity waves about six times more often than previously thought, scientists report in today's issue of the journal Nature [4 December]. If so, the current generation of gravity-wave detectors might be able to register such an event every year or two, rather than about once a decade - the most optimistic prediction until now. Gravity waves were... View More (2003-12-02)
