A time snapshot of tangential velocity in the neutron-star crust during simulated toroidal oscillations.

Neutron stars hold mysteries about the nature of dense nuclear matter, cosmic explosions and the production of heavy elements in the universe. Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are finding new ways to explore these mysteries by developing and using state-of-the art numerical tools. One of them is a computer code which, for the first time, can model the three-dimensional motion and breaking of the crystalline neutron-star crust. Read more in the current STE Highlights
