Removed unnecessary black background. 11:25, 6 March 2011: 1,024 × 768 (15 KB) Mouagip {{Information |Description ={{en|1=Gravitational light deflection at a neutron star. Due to relativistic light deflection more than half of the surface is visible. Neutron star mass: 1, neutron star radius: 4, All values are in natural units . Patches
The neutron star equation of state encodes information about the structure of a neutron star and thus tells us how matter behaves at the extreme densities found inside neutron stars. Constraints on the neutron star equation of state would then provide constraints on how the strong force of the standard model works, which would have profound ...

Zooming in on the very faint neutron star RX J1856.5–3754 Hubble image of RX J1856.5−3754—the first direct observation of an isolated neutron star in visible light. RX J1856.5−3754 is thought to have formed in a supernova explosion of its companion star about one million years ago and is moving across the sky at 108 km/s.
Zooming to RX J1856.5−3754 which is one of the Magnificent Seven and, at a distance of about 400 light-years, the closest-known neutron star. Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of supergiant stars. [1] They are created as a result of supernovas and gravitational collapse, [2] and are the second-smallest and densest class of stellar objects ...
A neutron star is the ultra-compact remnant of a massive star which exploded as a supernova. Neutron stars have a mass bigger than the Sun , yet are only a few kilometers across. These extremely dense objects rotate on their axes , producing focused electromagnetic waves which sweep around the sky and briefly point toward Earth in a lighthouse ...
PSR J0952–0607 is a massive millisecond pulsar in a binary system, located between 3,200–5,700 light-years (970–1,740 pc) from Earth in the constellation Sextans. [6] It holds the record for being the most massive neutron star known as of 2022, with a mass 2.35 ± 0.17 times that of the Sun—potentially close to the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff mass upper limit for neutron stars.
The spin-down age of the pulsar is 5380 years, while the cooling age of the neutron star is >5000 years. Taking all available evidence, 3C 58 has an age somewhere from 3500 to 5500 years. From 1971 to 2021, 3C 58 has been speculatively connected to the Supernova of 1181 AD, as reported by Chinese and Japanese observers. [8]
