British startup Pulsar Fusion has unveiled Sunbird, a space rocket concept designed to meet spacecraft in orbit, attach to ...
An international team of astronomers reports the detection of four new gamma-ray millisecond pulsars using the Murriyang ...
In the past three years, astronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of radio source. We call these long-period transients.
A cosmic enigma, ASKAP J1839-0756, a slow-spinning neutron star discovered using the ASKAP radio telescope, is challenging ...
A puzzling new type of radio signal – lasting seconds to minutes – has been linked to a binary star system featuring a white ...
In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly magnetized rapidly rotating, light-emitting neutron star) and a so-called ...
a neutron star. Bell and Hewish's discovery was the first known evidence for this, and the pulsing signal source became known as a pulsar. They changed the name of the signal from LGM to CP ...
The starburst-like diagram is called a pulsar map, because it shows the location of our sun relative to known pulsars. Pulsars are the rapidly spinning remains of dying stars—the leftover cores ...
Pulsar timing leverages observations of ultra-stable cosmic ... understanding the underlying velocity distributions of this neutron star population and the implications for supernova kicks, and more.
