A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest building blocks in nature: atomic nuclei. In new research published in Nature ...

A fresh analysis of gravitational wave data from a 2020 collision between a black hole and a neutron star has produced the first measured evidence of an eccentric, oval-shaped orbit in this type of ...

Researchers found a magnetic star core acting as a high speed engine to power a record breaking luminous supernova.

Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's magnetosphere is the "magic trick" behind superbright supernovas.

Astronomers have found that both the core of our Milky Way and the earliest proto-galaxies in the universe share a surprising ...

"What's really exciting is that this is definitive evidence for a magnetar forming as the result of a superluminous supernova core collapse," explained Alex Filippenko, a UC Berkeley distinguished ...

Researchers said this event, called GRB 230906A, is likely in a stream of gas located about 4.7 billion light-years from ...

The newborn magnetar, a specific kind of neutron star, actually enhances the brightness of a supernova.

The final dance of a black hole and a neutron star before their ultimate merger has been revealed, according to new research.
