A likely supermassive neutron star might shed light on the mass gap between neutron stars and black holes

A team of astronomers recently identified a red giant star with an unseen binary companion after examining data from the Large Sky Area MultiObject Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) and the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). Although the compani

A new view of the gamma-ray gap: 14 years of Fermi data reveal around 450 sources in a largely unexplored energy range

The universe is filled with light at many different energies. Some of it is invisible to our eyes, including extremely energetic gamma rays, which can only be produced in the most extreme environments in our universe, for example supermassive black holes, exploding stars or astro

A suspected black hole turns out to be a rapidly spinning star

Sometimes massive stars can mimic the behavior of a black hole and trick astronomers into misinterpreting their nature. Such is the case with a strange pair of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) cluster NGC 1850. The system was initially thought to contain a star about fiv
