This artist’s concept shows an isolated neutron star as an ultra-dense stellar remnant, packing more mass than the Sun into a city-sized sphere and radiating energy as it slowly cools in the depths of space. NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will search for, and could measure the mass of, isolated neutron stars using [...]
