PSR J0437 is a pulsar, a rotating neutron star that emits electromagnetic radiation. It is located about 510 light-years from Earth in the southern constellation of Pictor. PSR J0437 rotates 174 ...

A pulsar operates akin to a cosmic lighthouse - rotating quickly around its own axis, while emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation. When observed from Earth, it appears the celestial object ...

Astronomers discover an unusual neutron star that emits double pulses, challenging theories about stellar remnants.

Voyager's Golden Record is a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk, encoded with music, sounds and images from Earth. Its aluminum cover is engraved with instructions, and a unique galactic map.

an Earth day would be nearly 4,300 hours long. AJ0, therefore, offered scientists a tantalizing opportunity. Not only is this the slowest pulsar-like object ever found, but it emits alternating ...

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) and by analyzing archival Arecibo Observatory data, ...

THE wide band radiation from a pulsar will be absorbed near a wavelength of 21 cm by the galactic neutral hydrogen lying between the Earth and the pulsar. On the other hand, the 21 cm emission ...

In 1992 astronomers reported the first planet-size masses around a dead star, the pulsar PSR1257+12 ... a mere 50 light-years from Earth. The rate of exoplanet discovery has since climbed rapidly ...
