Neutron Stars – The Most Extreme Things that are not Black Holes
Eccentric ‘Star’ Defies Easy Explanation, NASA’s Chandra Finds https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/eccentric-star-defies-easy-explanation-nasas-chandra-finds/ #NASA #ChandraXRayObservatory #MarshallAstrophysics #MarshallSpaceFlightCenter #NeutronStars #Pulsars #Stars #TheUniverse
Stray thought: pasta chirality. Do all commercially made fusilli / spirali have the same handedness?
A quick search yields a paper on neutron stars, https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.101.074007 which, although interesting, does not answer my question.
I got a D on a test today. :Blobhaj_Read_MD: D for dense, or more specifically "Extremely Dense" :neobread:
A neutron star would probably get the same rating, right? :neofox_think_owo: I would think so. That implies Hypothesis 1.
It also means that according to science, lesbricks are in the same category of dense as a neutron star. :neofox_science: Thus I can recklessly assume that the mystery remains on whether or not lesbricks are denser than a neutron star. :vlpn_sparkle:
Hypothesis 1: Neutron stars are giant space titties.
Hypothesis 2: Lesbricks and Neutron stars are in the same density category.
Corollary (H1+H2): Lesbricks might have more tricky to interpret mammograms and should make sure they are regularly checking for lumps!

Five days ago marked the sixth anniversary of the detection of gravitational-wave signal GW190425 (https://astrodon.social/@mpi_grav/114399427478636217). It came from a binary neutron star merger.
These events emit both gravitational waves and electromagnetic signals. This could help solve long-standing questions in fundamental physics research with multi-messenger astrophysics.
For more information on multi-messenger astrophysics, see this article on our portal “Einstein Online”: https://www.einstein-online.info/en/spotlight/multi-messenger-astrophysics/
Where Does Gold Come From? NASA Data Has Clues https://science.nasa.gov/universe/stars/neutron-stars/magnetars/where-does-gold-come-from-nasa-data-has-clues/ #NASA #GoddardSpaceFlightCenter #Magnetars #NeutronStars #TheUniverse #Uncategorized
On this day, six years ago, @LIGO Livingston and Virgo detected an unusual gravitational-wave signal.
GW190425 was only the second signal from (most likely) a neutron star merger. Its distance to Earth was significantly larger and the sky position less precisely determined than for the first such signal (GW170817). Therefore, astronomers did not observe any afterglow in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The total mass of the merging objects was unusually high compared to known double neutron stars.
