Abstract
What remains when two neutron stars collide? Distinguished Professor Susan M. Scott and Dr Karl Wette from the Australian National University examine what remains when two neutron stars collide in this exciting gravitational astrophysics focus. Our Universe is now 13.7 billion years old. Many processes have evolved slowly over its existence; for example, our Sun will burn for about 10 billion years over its working life before entering retirement as a white dwarf star. At the opposite end of the scale, the Universe is also home to a myriad of short-lived events, which may radiate enormous amounts of energy in an instant. These are the astronomical transients.
