Discovering the Twisted Roots of Strange Neutron Star Pulses

SciTechDaily

Researchers have linked the periodic pulses of neutron stars to internal defects influenced by superfluid vortices, with a new model suggesting that these defects follow a power-law pattern observed in various natural phenomena. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A recent study has revealed the origin of the mysterious “heartbeats” observed in neutron stars, linking them to defects caused … Read more

Discovering the hidden particles of the universe

SciTechDaily

During binary neutron star collisions, hot neutrinos can be briefly trapped at the interface, remaining out of equilibrium with the cool cores of the merged stars for 2 to 3 milliseconds. This interaction helps guide the particles toward equilibrium and provides new insights into the physics of such couplings. Credit: SciTechDaily.com New simulations show that … Read more
