By combining observations from the Large Area Telescope and the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia, scientists have found a new technique for hunting pulsars. The…
Roughly four years after Fermi began studying gamma-rays, a soon-to-be-published study documents interesting findings. It turns out that the Crab Nebula and other individual point…
Astrophysicists knew the pulses emitted from the Crab Nebula were powerful, but what they found was 50 to 100 times higher than theorists thought possible….
The Crab Nebula (NGC 1952) is easily visible through small telescopes, which has allowed astronomers to observe its growth and evolution, ever since its birth…
Astrophysicist Thomas Tauris from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy and the Argelander Institute for Astronomy in Bonn used computer simulations to explain the…
