An international team of astrophysicists led by the Netherlands and the UK have discovered that radio pulses lasting seconds ...

Radio astronomers have discovered an unusual phenomenon in recent years. They detected radio pulses from the Milky Way that last from seconds to minutes. These pulses differ from those produced by ...

In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly ...

A decade-long radio mystery has finally been solved: astronomers have linked repeating pulses to a white dwarf and red dwarf ...

The pulsar and the objects that orbit it are already ... but differ under extreme circumstances. That puts star systems intense enough to serve as test laboratories for General Relativity and ...

A team of astronomers has found the first binary star system, D9, near the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. Previously ...

Astronomers discovered a mysterious 2-hour radio pulse from a hidden white dwarf system, revealing a new type of stellar duo ...

have the primary goal of detecting gravitational waves from supermassive black hole binary systems at the centers of merging galaxies by observing an entire array of pulsars distributed throughout the ...

are known as millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Astronomers assume that they are formed in binary systems when the initially more massive component turns into a neutron star that is then spun up due to ...

"We apply the model to candidate systems, spider pulsars, which are binary stars composed of one millisecond pulsar and a very low-mass companion star that is heavily irradiated by the pulsar wind." ...
