When neutron stars merge, they can make a splash … but what happens just before that? Astronomers ran over 100 simulations of two orbiting neutron stars on a NASA Ames supercomputer and found a gamma-ray glow that grew brighter before the collision.

Neutron Star Merger Two ultra-dense stars spiral together, radiating gravitational waves whose plus and cross polarizations make the fabric shiver and chirp faster and louder. Tidal forces strip neutron-rich matter into an equatorial sheet; that debris forges heavy elements via the r-process and powers a kilonova glow. #Astrophysics #Physics #Mathematics #SciArt

The first direct observation of gravitational waves captured the merging of two black holes which emitted 36 septillion yottawatts of power (3.6×10⁴⁹ watts), greater than the combined power of all light radiated by all the stars in the observable universe. [🎞️ SXS simulation]

In 2021, Fermi and Swift detected a gamma-ray burst that lasted about a minute. Typically this type of burst is from a collapsing star, but follow-up observations revealed telltale signs that it came from merging neutron stars. #FermiFriday #Swift20

Orbiting Three Suns Imagine a planet orbiting not one, but three stars at once. This isn't science fiction, but a reality for exoplanets in triple-star systems. The motion of such a planet would be incredibly complex, with constantly changing gravitational fields. Its "year" could be unpredictable, and its landscape illuminated by one, two, or even three sunsets.

Galaxies merging 🌌 A supercomputer simulation shows many galaxies merging over time. The parts of galaxies we can see are glowing stars forming from gas in their central parts. Visualizations like these inform researchers on a galaxy’s evolution and how gas within one may form.
