Astronomers discover a celestial object that defies classification, possibly uncovering a new type of cosmic entity at the edge of known physics. Sometimes astronomers come…
The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in conjunction with the international Fermi Large Area Telescope Collaboration, has announced the discovery of almost 300 gamma ray…
Using the MeerKAT Telescope, astronomers found a mysterious object in the Milky Way’s black hole mass gap, challenging existing astronomical classifications and offering a unique…
The central question in the ongoing hunt for dark matter is: what is it made of? One possible answer is that dark matter consists of…
An extensive astronomical study involving 12 telescopes both on the ground and in space, including three European Southern Observatory (ESO) facilities, astronomers have uncovered the…
A universal relation for pulsars, magnetars, and potentially fast radio bursts. An international research team led by Michael Kramer and Kuo Liu from the Max…
H.E.S.S. observatory records 20 tera-electronvolts photons from the Vela pulsar. Scientists using the H.E.S.S. observatory in Namibia have detected the highest energy gamma rays ever…
An international team reports on a radio pulsar phase of a Galactic magnetar that emitted a fast radio burst in 2020; observations suggest unique origins…
Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ National Astronomical Observatories (NAOC), along with their international partners, used the Five-hundred-meter Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) to identify…
Using the FAST telescope, researchers discovered unique “dwarf pulses” from pulsar PSR B2111+46, potentially unveiling unknown aspects of pulsar radiation and plasma conditions. Using the…
A research group from the University of Warwick has discovered a rare white dwarf pulsar for only the second time, providing significant insights into stellar…
New finding offers clues to “missing” pulsars. MSPs, or millisecond pulsars, are evolved neutron stars with brief spin periods that underwent extensive mass transfer during…
Occasionally pulsars—rapidly-spinning remnants of stars that flash like a lighthouse—show extreme variations in brightness. Astrophysicists predict that these short bursts of brightness occur because dense…
Observations of faint, planet-size star help weigh its millisecond pulsar companion. A dense, collapsed star has shredded and consumed nearly the entire mass of its…
30 years ago, the first-ever exoplanets were discovered around a rapidly rotating star, called a pulsar. Now, astronomers have revealed that these planets may be…
A young pulsar has been discovered blazing through the Milky Way at a speed of over a million miles per hour. This stellar speedster, witnessed…
Astronomers analyzing data from the VLA Sky Survey (VLASS) have discovered one of the youngest known neutron stars — the superdense remnant of a massive…
