Neutron stars are some of the most mysterious and fascinating objects in the universe, and they have been studied extensively by astronomers and physicists. Neutron stars are incredibly dense and can be as small as 8 miles in diameter but contain more mass than the Sun. They are formed when a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses in on itself, leaving behind a core of densely packed neutrons. Neutron stars are extremely hot and spin rapidly, emitting powerful beams of radiation that can be detected from Earth. Here you can find the latest news, articles, and videos about neutron stars and their incredible properties.

Polytropic Equation of State in Relativistic Astrophysics | Research Communities by Springer Nature

The study of compact astrophysical objects such as neutron stars and white dwarfs necessitates an understanding of their internal structure and the forces governing them. As matter is compressed under extreme gravitational fields, traditional equations of state (EoS) become insufficient.

From Swinging to Twinkling: How Polarization and Scintillation Revealed FRB 20221022A’s Origins | Research Communities by Springer Nature

FRB 20221022A, spotted by the CHIME/FRB project, is no ordinary fast radio burst. Through a bizarre twist of polarization (and fate), this nearby FRB also displays a curious scintillation pattern that hints at its origin inside the intense magnetic field environment of a neutron star.
