Space exploration, which is accelerating with advancing technology, offers us surprising information about the universe every day. Although it 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 corresponds to PSR J0952-0607. The most massive neutron star ever discovered created. It was also said that this could aid the study of dense stars believed to be close to the mass limit established for neutron stars and on the brink of collapse.

Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of stars that are 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 closest are called one. The only thing denser than neutron stars are black holes.

Stanford University researchers have found that this star, also known as the “black widow,” is located between 3,200 and 5,700 light-years from Earth. spinning 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.
