Neutron star

Massive neutron star, illustration. This super-dense astronomical object is the remains of a massive star that has collapsed under its own gravity.

RIKEN researchers have developed an improved model for the equation of state of neutron stars that can consider finite temperatures

Neutron stars are one of the most bizarre and unique objects in the Universe. However, not much is known about these remnants of dead stars.

A new type of star may eventually collapse and become a magnetar – a highly magnetic neutron star, whose origins have been a cosmic mystery for decades

Researchers from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research have made observations of a new magnetar, called Swift J1818.0-1607, which challenges current knowledge about two types of extreme stars, known as magnetars and pulsars. The research, just published in the Astrophysical Journal, was done using the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), an X-ray instrument aboard the International Space Station.
