Scientists have uncovered the first robust evidence of a black hole and neutron star crashing together but orbiting in an ...

When the remnants of two stars collide, their union can launch a dazzling jet of high energy matter. A new computer simulation reveals how the merger, which forms a black hole, emits that bright beam, ...

Neutron star mergers are among the most extreme events in the Universe. A recent simulation shows that the cataclysm begins well in advance. Indeed, a chaotic ballet of their magnetic fields is ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how the merger unfolds, including the composition and structure of the merger ...

Volume rendering of density in a simulation of a binary neutron star merger. New research shows that neutrinos created in the hot interface between the merging stars can be briefly trapped and remain ...
