Mergers between two neutron stars have produced more heavy elements in last 2.5 billion years than mergers between neutron stars and black holes.
Such planetary smashups are likely common in young solar systems, but they haven’t been directly observed.
The cosmic boundary, perhaps caused by a young Jupiter or an emerging wind, likely shaped the composition of infant planets.
Probstein’s research had diverse applications in fields including aeronautics, energy, desalination, and soil decontamination.
The results provide a blueprint for finding such systems in the universe’s quieter, emptier regions.
Not just an exoplanet-finder anymore, TESS yields diverse astrophysics results at second science conference.
Study offers evidence, based on gravitational waves, to show that the total area of a black hole’s event horizon can never decrease.
In a 3Q, Salvatore Vitale describes how gravitational-wave signals suggest black holes completely devoured their companion neutron stars.
Observations quadruple the number of known radio bursts and reveal two types: one-offs and repeaters.
Regardless of size, all black holes experience similar accretion cycles, a new study finds.
Certain ultralight bosons would be expected to put the brakes on black holes, but new results show no such slowdown.
New image of M87 reveals how it looks in polarized light.
Alan Lightman’s new book explores the riddles of origins, infinities, and other bafflements brought to us by modern science.
MIT scientists present exoplanet data at the 237th American Astronomical Society meeting.
