Most Massive Neutron Star Ever Discovered

Space exploration, which accelerates with the developing technology, provides us with surprising information about the universe every day. While it has just emerged from the effects of the photos shared by the James Webb Space Telescope, it has now been announced that another important discovery has been made. Experts have found important information about a star in the Milky Way.

According to a study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, scientists PSR J0952-0607 He measured the mass of a neutron star named after him. As a result of the measurements made, this star is less than the mass of the Sun. to a mass 2.35 times greater appeared to have.

PSR J0952-0607 becomes the most massive neutron star ever discovered

According to the scientists, this measurement matches PSR J0952-0607. The most massive neutron star ever discovered made. It was also stated that this could contribute to the study of dense stars thought to be close to the mass limit set for neutron stars and on the verge of collapse.

Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of stars 8 to 30 times the mass of the Sun after a supernova. These nuclei can be about 1.5 times the size of the Sun and of the densest are referred to as one. The only thing denser than neutron stars are black holes.

Researchers at Stanford University have found that this star, also known as the ‘black widow’, is between 3,200 and 5,700 light-years away. turning so fast and by consuming the companion star says it has reached this high mass. The team adds that this provides important information about neutron stars.
