Astronomers have used an X-ray spacecraft called XRISM to observe powerful winds blowing from a neutron star — the findings could be a "game changer" for physics.
The team discovered unexpected differences between powerful and energetic winds blowing from swirling disks of gas and dust, called accretion disks, around extreme "dead stars," or neutron stars, and winds that flow from accretion disks that feed supermassive black holes at the hearts of large galaxies.
