Neutron stars of different masses can make a real mess when they collide
When neutron stars collide, they go out with a tremendous bang, fueling an explosion up to a thousand times more powerful than a supernova. But sometimes they go out with a whimper, and a recent suite of simulations is showing why: they turn into a black hole. The discovery of gravitational waves from colliding neutron …
