Only A Supercomputer Can Understand the Extremely Energetic Chaos of a Neutron Star Merger

belaUniverse Today8 hours ago4 Views

This artist's illustration shows a pair of merging neutron stars. These mergers result in kilonova explosions, and leave behind either a more massive neutron star or a black hole. Researchers used supercomputers to simulate this type of event observe the pair's magnetic fields as they become intertwined, and what type of electromagnetic signals they emit.

A neutron star merger is an extraordinary event. It features extremely powerful, chaotic magnetic fields that generate extremely energetic photons. Supercomputer simulations show that the extreme gamma-ray photons created in the mayhem can’t even escape the chaos.
