Colliding neutron stars ring in a clue to puzzle of extreme matter

Research output: Contribution to journalComment / DebateOtherpeer-review

Abstract

The pitch of oscillations detected in the γ-rays that are emitted when neutron stars collide could provide insight into the hottest and densest matter in the Universe — revealing physics that cannot be studied with terrestrial experiments.
