Like a dried-up lemon from the back of the fridge, neutron stars are less squeezable than expected, physicists report. New measurements of the most massive known neutron star find that it has a ...

June 26 (UPI) --Scientists have developed new models to estimate the size of neutron stars. The models, powered by gravitational wave data, helped astrophysicists establish new more precise upper ...

A typical neutron star measures 22 kilometers (13.6 miles) wide, according to new research. It’s the most accurate measurement yet of these highly compact, super-dense objects. If black holes are the ...

Neutrons stars are unimaginably dense, and perhaps even the densest-known objects in the entire universe. They can be as small as a city and contain just as much matter as a star would. Image Credit: ...

FRANKFURT. How large is a neutron star? Previous estimates varied from eight to sixteen kilometres. Astrophysicists at the Goethe University Frankfurt and the FIAS have now succeeded in determining ...
