A neutrino moves through a gas of neutrons and is sensitive to correlations in spin and density in the neutron matter. These correlations determine how much energy transfers from the neutrino to the ...

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used Frontier to chart the isospin density of a neutron star over a range of conditions. This illustration depicts isospin-dense ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts.

"Because the neutron star is superdense, its huge gravity can pull hydrogen and helium over from a companion star. As this material falls to the surface, the density and temperature grow so high that ...

For astrophysicists, neutron stars stand out as objects of irresistible fascination - perhaps, in part, because of how difficult they are to decipher. But calculations conducted on the Frontier ...

How can we understand environments that can’t be replicated on Earth? That’s a challenge astrophysicists face all the time. In some cases, it’s largely a matter of figuring out how well-understood ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars' surface gravities are so intense that the largest "mountains" are only a few ...
