Astronomers discover an unusual neutron star that emits double pulses, challenging theories about stellar remnants.

An extremely slow pulsar has made scientists “slow down” their assumptions about other pulsars. The pace could be caused by a ...

Gravitational Waves: Ripples in spacetime caused by the acceleration of massive objects, such as merging black holes or neutron stars. ELM White Dwarfs: Extremely low-mass white dwarfs with masses ...

Astronomers have found evidence for what might be a planet with about half the mass of the Moon orbiting the pulsar PSR ...

A dead galaxy, over 11 billion years old, has surprised astronomers with powerful radio bursts. Once thought to be lifeless, ...

"The large volume of data from Rubin will give us a sample of all kinds of Type Ia supernovas at a range of distances and in ...

This periodicity suggested the rotation of either a neutron star or a white dwarf. Now, a new analysis of the available data conducted by Sandro Mereghetti of the Institute of Space Astrophysics ...

the evidence suggests that it's unlikely to be a white dwarf. "This [research] nicely explains the different possible scenarios, but finds [in this case the] isolated neutron star or magnetar ...

There is a lot of complicated but beautiful physics in understanding how this explosion takes place,” says Purdue University ...

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs): Extremely powerful explosions in distant galaxies that emit vast amounts of energy, mainly as gamma rays. Hypernovae (Massive Star Explosions): Ultra-powerful stellar ...

If these weird episodes are the result of an orbiting white dwarf, a type of stellar remnant left behind when a star with around the mass of the sun dies, then this dead star is performing an ...
