Using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), astronomers from West Virginia University and elsewhere have observed two distant pulsars identified with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio ...

An astronomy graduate student in England was scouring more than 100 pages of data per day from a radio telescope when she noticed a strange, repeating signal that she dubbed "LGM" — short for "little ...

Using the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, astronomers have discovered a new millisecond pulsar (MSPs) at a distance of some 7,000 light years away. The newfound pulsar, which received ...

A newly discovered pulsar, PSR J0311+1402, located approximately 2,600 light-years away, exhibits an unusually long rotation period of 41 seconds, bridging a gap between typical pulsars and ...

Imagine a star so dense that a teaspoon of its material would weigh as much as Mount Everest, spinning hundreds of times per second while beaming radio waves across the universe. These are pulsars, ...

Pulsars are highly magnetised, rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation detectable from Earth, while many pulsars coexist in binary systems with companion stars. In these systems, the ...
