Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

While black hole pulsars had been previously conjectured, the simulation is the first to show how such a rare object could actually form in nature from the collision of a neutron star and a black ...

The current generation of gravitational wave detectors could "hear" supernovas over 65 million light-years away, helping scientists determine if a dying star creates a black hole or a neutron star.

When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to Caltech’s latest supercomputer simulations, we’re getting a front-row seat to the whole ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions ...
