Astronomers suspect the heart of the Milky Way may be hiding a big secret: a rapidly spinning, highly magnetic, neutron ...

Indian astronomers have investigated an ultraluminous X-ray pulsar in the galaxy NGC 4631, designated X-8. The new study, described in a paper published Feb. 16 on the arXiv preprint server, provides ...

Astronomers may have discovered a rare type of binary star system, where one star used to orbit inside its partner. In the new study, astronomers investigated a pulsar known as PSR J1928+1815 located ...

Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion, formed via common envelope evolution. Although such systems ...

Scientists report a possible pulsar at the Milky Way’s center, discovered through radio observations by the Breakthrough Listen team using the Green Bank Telescope, offering a new laboratory for ...

"Transitional millisecond pulsars are cosmic laboratories that help us understand how neutron stars evolve in binary systems." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

A team of researchers in China have discovered a stunning binary system in which a stellar object known as a pulsar orbited inside the outer layers of its companion star — which it accomplished after ...
