‘Black Neutron Star’ Discovery: How Neutron Stars and Black Holes Form Will Need to be Rethought
June 27th, 2020Via: BBC:
Scientists have discovered an astronomical object that has never been observed before.
It is more massive than collapsed stars, known as “neutron stars”, but has less mass than black holes.
Such “black neutron stars” were not thought possible and will mean ideas for how neutron stars and black holes form will need to be rethought.
The discovery was made by an international team using gravitational wave detectors in the US and Italy.
