1. Szabolcs Marka:

   And when we hear the universe, we will learn about the secret life of black holes -- their birth, their death, their marriage, their feeding. We will hear when a black hole eats a neutron star, nobody has 'seen' that before. We will not only understand it, we will 'see' it. It's the most fascinating thing I can imagine.

2. Scott Ransom:

   Neutron stars have this tipping point where their interior densities get so extreme that the force of gravity overwhelms even the ability of neutrons to resist further collapse, each most massive neutron star we find brings us closer to identifying that tipping point and helping us to understand the physics of matter at these mind-boggling densities.

3. Susan Scott:

   We have always thought that there should be binary systems of a black hole and a neutron star circling each other out in space, so if this event is confirmed, it would be the first evidence that such systems do actually exist, and that some of them are spiraling closer and closer and eventually smashing together.

4. Northwesterns Raffaella Margutti:

   We think that The Cow is the formation of an accreting black hole or neutron star, we know from theory that black holes and neutron stars form when a star dies, but weve never seen them right after they are born. Never.

5. Susan Scott:

   About 900 million years ago, this black hole ate a very dense star, known as a neutron star, like Pac-man -- possibly snuffing out the star instantly, the ANU SkyMapper Telescope responded to the detection alert and scanned the entire likely region of space where the event occurred, but we've not found any visual confirmation.
