    Neutron-Star Merger yields new puzzle for Astrophysicists

    January 20, 2018, Categories  Astronomy/Space

    This graphic shows the X-ray counterpart to the gravitational wave source GW170817, produced by the merger of two neutron stars. The left image is the sum of observations with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory taken in late August and early Sept. 2017, and the right image is the sum of Chandra observations taken in early Dec. 2017. The X-ray counterpart to GW170817 is shown to the upper left of its host galaxy, NGC 4993, located about 130 million light years from Earth. The counterpart has become about four times brighter over three months. GW170817 was first observed on Aug. 17, 2017. Credit: NASA/CXC/McGill/J.Ruan et al.

    The afterglow from the distant neutron-star merger detected last August by LIGO has continued to brighten – much to the surprise of astrophysicists studying the aftermath...
