Neutron Stars on the Brink of Collapse: Black hole

Together with an international team of scientists, HITS researcher Dr. Andreas Bauswein has managed to narrow down the size of neutron stars. Neutron stars are the densest objects in the Universe; however, their exact characteristics remain unknown.
In this video by Andreas Bauswein the star collapses after the merger and forms a black hole.
