New Method May Resolve Difficulty in Measuring Universe’s Expansion
July 8, 2019 at 11:00 am | News Release

Radio telescope observations have made it possible for astronomers to use mergers of neutron-star pairs as a valuable new tool for measuring the Universe’s expansion.

Even Phenomenally Dense Neutron Stars Fall like a Feather
June 26, 2018 at 5:00 pm | News Release

Harnessing the exquisite sensitivity of the GBT, astronomers have given one of Einstein’s predictions on gravity its most stringent test yet. By precisely tracking the meanderings of three stars in a single system – two white dwarf stars and one ultra-dense neutron star – the researchers determined that even the most massive of objects “fall” in the same manner as their less-dense counterparts.
