Kilonova explosions from neutron star collisions may damage atmospheres and threaten life if nearby, according to a new study.

They worked on this project with the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK). This multipurpose detector is ...

The University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in collaboration with the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), has ...

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact ... but those bodies that are still spinning rapidly may emit radiation that from Earth appears to blink on and off as the star spins, like the beam ...

A machine learning method has the potential to revolutionize multi-messenger astronomy. Detecting binary neutron star mergers ...

In this environment, Mumpower’s team suggest that energetic photons in a jet collide with protons to create a neutron and a ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars are when they are born. "Understanding the birth masses of neutron ...

"Studying neutron capture on radionuclides is challenging, due to the intrinsic radiation that is emitted," explained Stamatopoulos. "Typically, in neutron-capture experiments, detectors are ...

Messengers: When two neutron stars merge, they emit gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation. Detecting and analysing these signals can provide profound insights into the underlying processes ...

Neutron activation analysis is a method for the qualitative and quantitative determination of elements based on the measurement of characteristic radiation from radionuclides formed by irradiating ...
