Astrophysicists observing the collision of two neutron stars have detected the smallest black hole ever observed.

The most luminous kilonova candidate to date (short gamma-ray burst 200522A) was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope, ...

Astrophysicists have observed an extraordinary event following the collision of two neutron stars—the explosive birth of a ...

Astrophysicists have, for the first time, measured the temperature of elementary particles in the radioactive afterglow of a neutron star collision, which led to the formation of a black hole. This br ...

Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision ...
