A collaboration between quantum physicists and astrophysicists, led by Francesca Ferlaino and Massimo Mannarelli, has achieved a significant breakthrough in understanding neutron star glitches. They ...

The sun rotates the fastest at the equator, whereas the rotation rate slows down at higher latitudes and is the slowest at the polar regions. But a nearby sun-like star—V889 Herculis, some 115 light ...

Astronomers have found that the rotational profile of a nearby star, V889 Herculis, differs considerably from that of the Sun. The observation provides insights into the fundamental stellar ...
