Neutron star A neutron star is the collapsed core of a massive supergiant star, which had a total mass of between and solar masses, possibly if the star was especially metal rich Except for black holes and some hypothetical objects e.g white holes, quark stars, and strange stars , neutron stars are the smallest and densest currently known class of stellar objects. What is a neutron star Astronomy Essentials EarthSky Feb , A neutron star that has an abnormally strong magnetic field is known as a magnetar, able to pull the keys out of your pocket from as far away as the moon The origin of magnetars is not well Imagine the Universe Sep , Magnetars Another type of neutron star is called a magnetar In a typical neutron star, the magnetic field is trillions of times that of the Earth s magnetic field however, in a magnetar, the magnetic field is another times stronger. In all neutron stars, the crust of the star is locked together with the magnetic field so that any change in one affects the other. Neutron Stars Definition Facts Space Feb , Neutron stars are born from the explosive deaths of massive stars Although they are about the size of a city, neutron stars pack quite a punch. NICER NASA Jul , Installed aboard the International Space Station in June , NASA s Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer provides high precision measurements of neutron stars, objects containing ultra dense matter at the threshold of collapse into black holes NICER will also test, for the first time in space, technology that uses pulsars as New insights into neutron star matter Jun , More information Sabrina Huth et al, Constraining neutron star matter with microscopic and macroscopic collisions, Nature DOI . s w Journal information Nature Scientists discovered a strange neutron star that rotates May , Scientists have known than neutron stars in our Galaxy AN international team of scientists led by members of the ERC funded MeerTRAP More Transients and Pulsars group at The University of Manchester has discovered a strange radio emitting neutron star, which rotates extremely slowly, completing one rotation every seconds The This newly discovered neutron star might light the way for a Jun , The discovery of a neutron star emitting unusual radio signals is rewriting our understanding of these unique star systems opens in new tab Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of massive stars. Detecting the impact of nuclear reactions on neutron star May , Nuclear reactions may affect gravitational wave signals from neutron star mergers, but the impact is uncertain In order to quantify the effect, we compare two numerical simulations representing intuitive extremes In one case reactions happen instantaneously In the other case, they occur on timescales much slower than the evolutionary timescale We show Electromagnetic precursor flares from the late inspiral of neutron star May , The coalescence of two neutron stars is accompanied by the emission of gravitational waves, and can also feature electromagnetic counterparts powered by mass ejecta and the formation of a relativistic jet after the merger Since neutron stars can feature strong magnetic fields, the non trivial interaction of the neutron star magnetospheres might fuel

Laurence van Cott Niven s best known work is Ringworld Ringworld, 1 1970 , which received the Hugo, Locus, Ditmar, and Nebula awards His work is primarily hard science fiction, using big science concepts and theoretical physics The creation of thoroughly worked out alien species, which are very different from humans both physically and mentally, is recognized as one of Niven s main strengths.Niven also often includes elements of detective fiction and adventure stories His fantasy includes The Magic Goes Away series, which utilizes an exhaustible resource, called Mana, to make the magic a non renewable resource Niven created an alien species, the Kzin, which were featured in a series of twelve collection books, the Man Kzin Wars He co authored a number of novels with Jerry Pournelle In fact, much of his writing since the 1970s has been in collaboration, particularly with Pournelle, Steven Barnes, Brenda Cooper, or Edward M Lerner.He briefly attended the California Institute of Technology and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics with a minor in psychology from Washburn University, Topeka, Kansas, in 1962 He did a year of graduate work in mathematics at the University of California at Los Angeles He has since lived in Los Angeles suburbs, including Chatsworth and Tarzana, as a full time writer He married Marilyn Joyce Fuzzy Pink Wisowaty, herself a well known science fiction and Regency literature fan, on September 6, 1969.Niven won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story for Neutron Star in 1967 In 1972, for Inconstant Moon, and in 1975 for The Hole Man In 1976, he won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette for The Borderland of Sol.Niven has written scripts for various science fiction television shows, including the original Land of the Lost series and Star Trek The Animated Series, for which he adapted his early Kzin story The Soft Weapon He adapted his story Inconstant Moon for an episode of the television series The Outer Limits in 1996.He has also written for the DC Comics character Green Lantern including in his stories hard science fiction concepts such as universal entropy and the redshift effect, which are unusual in comic bookscmillan author larryn
