Ever wonder what it would look like to travel to a black hole or neutron star?
Axisymmetric Collision of Two Neutron Stars
Features images simulating the collision of two neutron stars.
Remnant of Chinese Supernova
Scientists using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found new evidence that a pulsar in the constellation of Sagittarius was created when a massive star exploded, witnessed by Chinese astronomers in the year 386 AD.
Neutron Stars and X-ray Binaries
An accessible summary of neutron stars and X-ray binaries, presented by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Includes a comprehensive Q&A section and a selection of quality images.
Neutron Stars
Overview of what is known about neutron stars, including a discussion of X-ray bursters.
Summaries of Neutron Star Types
Includes short summaries on neutron stars, including information on pulsars, neutron degeneracy, pulsar examples, binary pulsars and planets around pulsars. This information links to a useful navigable 'mind map' dealing with concepts in physics.
