Einstein Probe reveals a hidden phase of neutron star collisions
A recent observation made by the Einstein Probe has shed light on a previously unknown phase of neutron star collisions, revealing soft X-ray activity that lasted nearly 10 minutes. This discovery may provide valuable new information for scientists studying gravitational waves. The prolonged emission could be attributed to a newly formed magnetar.
