Researchers outline three unique features that may distinguish strange stars from neutron stars, including higher X-ray energy and pulse emissions. The discovery of a strange star could prove the existence of quark matter, a form of matter made up of quarks.
The ACIS camera will record the energy of each X-ray detected from high-energy objects as unique charge, converting it into a signal to detect different elements. It has very high angular resolution and spectral resolution, allowing scientists to see individual stars for the first time in crowded regions.
A University of Illinois professor has modeled gravitomagnetic induction as the gravitational analog of Faraday induction in electromagnetism. The effect could influence a neutron star's spin, internal structure and orbital motion.
Astronomers have discovered a binary system featuring a dead white dwarf star orbiting an exotic neutron star with a mass 1.5 times that of the Sun. The neutron star's intense gravity is slowly consuming its companion, causing peaks in ultraviolet radiation every 11 minutes.
