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 ...

Astronomers are trying to understand a mysterious cosmic explosion that the Einstein Probe spacecraft spotted in April last year.

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 ...

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 ...

Pulsars are neutron stars that spin rapidly ... At first, the team thought that ASKAP J1839-0756 might be a white dwarf, a smaller star like our sun that has died. “But we’ve never seen ...

When we first began searching for planets around other stars, one of the surprising discoveries was that there are planets orbiting white dwarfs. The first exoplanets we ever discovered were white ...

where it’s possible that magnetars could form due to the merger of two neutron stars, or a dead white dwarf star collapsing in on itself, the researchers said. The team led by Shah has submitted a ...

Some astronomers wonder if similar objects might be white dwarfs—the leftover cores of less massive stars. White dwarfs spin much more slowly than neutron stars, but no individual isolated white ...
