Neutron star, any of a class of extremely dense, compact stars thought to be composed primarily of neutrons. Neutron stars are typically about 20 km (12 miles) in diameter. Their masses range between 1.18 and 1.97 times that of the Sun, but most are 1.35
As we are still far from a complete understanding of magnetic field behaviour in NSs, there are many open problems. We specify and discuss them in Section 6. 2. Formation Neutron stars are the most magnetised objects in the universe, with field strengths up to at least 10151015 G. There ...
While marshmallows don't tend to rain on neutron stars, gas stripped from companion stars in binary partnerships with these extreme stellar remnantsoften does.When this gas hits the neutron star's surface at speeds as great as millions of miles an hour, it creates powerful firework displays in ...

Neutron stars are not only the most dense objects in the Universe, but they rotate very fast and regularly. Until they don't. Occasionally these neutronstarsstart to spin faster, caused by portions of the inside of the star moving outwards. It's called a "glitch" and it provides astronomer...
