Gaia’s Discovery: Unveiling 21 Rare Neutron Star-Normal Star Binaries

Astronomers have made a remarkable discovery: 21 rare binary systems where sun-like stars orbit dense, compact neutron stars have been found lurking near our solar neighborhood. Unveiling the Mysteries of Neutron Star Binaries Neutron stars are exotic remnants left behind when massive stars undergo supernova explosions. Unlike our solitary sun, many stars similar in mass exist in pairs, and this discovery sheds light on their intriguing dynamics. “This collection of neutron star-normal star binaries is particularly extraordinary because they are
