Sun-Like Stars Found Orbiting Hidden Companions
New observations reveal neutron stars paired with stars like our Sun.
This mass transfer process makes the neutron star shine brightly at X-ray or radio wavelengths. Most of the newly discovered systems are located within 3,000 light-years of Earth—a relatively small distance compared, for example, to the 100,000 light-year-diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy.
