For 10 months, a SETI Institute-led team watched pulsar PSR J0332+5434 (also called B0329+54) to study how its radio signal ...

Allen Telescope Array campaign shows slow changes in radio scintillation that can nudge pulsar timing by billionths of a second ...

A two-faced star just helped weigh an extra-massive pulsar. The star takes about four hours to orbit its companion, a fast-spinning stellar corpse called a pulsar that’s about 10,000 light-years from ...

On November 28, 1967, astronomers found the first pulsar. A pulsar is a super-dense star that rotates super fast. As the ...

Astronomers have spotted a rare cosmic duo: a neutron star that rotates nearly a hundred times every second locked in an ultra-tight orbit with a semi-shredded star. The scientists who found the pair ...

Astronomers have witnessed a never-seen-before event in observations by ESA’s XMM-Newton spacecraft – a collision between a pulsar and a ring of gas around a neighbouring star. The rare passage, which ...

Astronomers have added a new species to the neutron star zoo, showcasing the wide diversity among the compact magnetic remains of dead, once-massive stars. While it’s an oddball, some of this newfound ...

Watch out, because this thing eats entire stellar masses: a rapidly rotating collapsed star known as a pulsar is making a meal out of its neighboring star, nearly devouring it whole. That engorging ...

Neutron stars are among the densest objects in the Universe, the result of supernovae explosions. The only thing denser is black holes, and if a neutron star were to acquire enough mass, it is ...

A perplexing fast-spinning star just might be the "missing link" in a long-standing pulsar mystery, scientists say. The so-called neutron star — a city-sized stellar remnant born from the explosive ...

Like anthropologists piecing together the human family tree, astronomers have found that a misfit “skeleton” of a star may link two different kinds of stellar remains. The mysterious object, called ...
