Pulsars are the remnants of giant stars that exploded in a supernova. Check out these 7 breathtaking images of pulsars ...

Indian astronomers have observed an X-ray binary system designated SXP 138. Results of the NuSTAR observations, published ...

For the past 35 years, an unusual radio signal from deep space has continued to reach Earth at regular intervals — every 22 ...

Kilonova explosions from neutron star collisions may damage atmospheres and threaten life if nearby, according to a new study ...

"Magnetar birth rates and formation scenarios are among the most pressing questions in high-energy astrophysics." ...

This "pulsing" appearance gives some neutron stars the name pulsars. After spinning for several million years pulsars are drained of their energy and become normal neutron stars. Few of the known ...

Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, Italian astronomers have observed a Galactic X-ray binary system known as 4U 0728-25.

come to resemble rotation-powered pulsars, here we have an unambiguous case of a Janus-faced neutron star significantly powered now by rotation, now (in addition) by magnetic field decay.

Many more pulsars have been found since the first. They are believed to be rapidly rotating neutron stars with intense electromagnetic fields, which emit radio waves from north and south poles.

Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation. The most rapidly rotating pulsars, with rotation periods below 30 milliseconds, are known as ...

In doing so, we are observing nearly 80 pulsars and their lines of sight, and NANOGrav members are involved in a wide range of synergistic science goals beyond the study of gravitational waves, ...
