Astronomers Determine Mass of Neutron Star Just Before it Vanishes

In an interstellar race against time, astronomers have measured the space-time warp in the gravity of a binary star and determined the mass of a neutron star--just before it vanished from view.

Compendium of Data on Simultaneous Research of Three Supernovas and Corresponding Gamma-Ray Bursts

An international consortium, in which the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Ikerbasque and CSIC are participating, has published in a single article a compendium of data obtained after the simultaneous research of three supernovas and of their corresponding Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB).

Exotic Split of Electrons Can Take Place in Quasi Two-Dimensional Magnetic Materials

A study led by EPFL has shown for the first time that electrons split into electrical charge and magnetic moment in a two-dimensional model. The discovery marks a new understanding in the discovery of exotic materials such as high-temperature superconductors.

ASAS-SN Detects More Supernovae Than Other Professional Astronomical Surveys

SEATTLE--While many astronomical collaborations use powerful telescopes to target individual objects in the distant universe, a new project at The Ohio State University is doing something radically different: using small telescopes to study a growing portion of the nearby universe all at once.

Repeating Light Signal from Distant Quasar May Signify Merger of Supermassive Black Holes

The central regions of many glittering galaxies, our own Milky Way included, harbor cores of impenetrable darkness -- black holes with masses equivalent to millions, or even billions, of suns. What's more, these supermassive black holes and their host galaxies appear to develop together, or "co-evolve." Theory predicts that as galaxies collide and merge, growing ever more massive, so too do their dark hearts.

ESO's Wide Field Imager Captures Image of Lynds Dark Nebula 483

Some of the stars appear to be missing in this intriguing new ESO image. But the black gap in this glitteringly beautiful starfield is not really a gap, but rather a region of space clogged with gas and dust. This dark cloud is called LDN 483 -- for Lynds Dark Nebula 483. Such clouds are the birthplaces of future stars.

Researchers Develop General Theory for EPR Transition Rates of Anisotropic Spins Systems

Researchers from Berlin Joint EPR Lab at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and University of Washington (UW) derived a new set of equations that allows for calculating electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) transition probabilities with arbitrary alignment and polarization of the exciting electromagnetic radiation.

Researchers Identify 'Fingerprint' of High-Temperature Superconductors

Theorists and experimentalists working together at Cornell may have found the answer to a major challenge in condensed matter physics: identifying the smoking gun of why “unconventional” superconductivity occurs, they report in Nature Physics, published online Dec. 22.
