Comparing algorithms used to model spinning neutron stars, scientists hope to better understand the physics of the elementary particles that make them up. Neutron stars [more…]
Is it time to start looking for alternatives to WIMPs? For almost a century, astrophysicists have known that in addition to ordinary matter, there is [more…]
A modification to the theory of general relativity makes it consistent with observable astronomical data without the need for dark energy. Since its completion in [more…]
Merging pairs of black holes are thought to have originated from binary stars, but new observations indicate this might not always be true. More than [more…]
Using the motion of sound waves through a superfluid liquid, scientists can model the Universe’s evolution on a reasonable time scale. Understanding how the Universe [more…]
More confirmation needed to see if recently discovered object is a quark star. Neutron stars are among the most extreme objects in the Universe. With [more…]
This month, NASA’s James Webb Telescope captured images of the Pillars of Creation in breathtaking detail. The image of the Pillars of Creation is one [more…]
Oscillations measured in the orbits of a pair of black holes have once again helped confirm predictions made using general relativity. Einstein’s theory of general [more…]
Researchers have found that supernovae explosions are preceded by observable radiation whose features should make it possible to distinguish the radiation of a future supernova [more…]
Researchers at the Southern University of Science and Technology in China ask if gravitons can be promising candidates for dark matter components. Since the 1930s, [more…]
