As predicted by the theory of general relativity, the passage of gravitational waves can leave a measurable change in the relative positions of objects. This physical phenomenon, known as gravitational wave memory, could ...
Stars blinking code in Netflix's "3 Body Problem" might be science fiction, but by deciphering neutron stars' erratic flickers, a new study has revealed the twisted origin of these dead stars' mysterious "heartbeats."

An international team of astronomers has observed an X-ray binary system known as EXO 2030+375. Results of the observation campaign, presented in a research paper published June 18 on the pre-print server arXiv, provide more ...
ESA's XMM-Newton and NASA's Chandra spacecraft have detected three young neutron stars that are unusually cold for their age. By comparing their properties to different neutron star models, scientists conclude that the oddballs' ...
