An international team of astronomers has uncovered new evidence to explain how pulsing remnants of exploded stars interact ...

As if these zombies weren’t already bizarre enough, the behavior of one of them, pulsar PSR J1023+0038, has remained a mystery until now. PSR J1023 does have the usual compact jet of radiation ...

The researchers associated a transient bright X-ray flare detected on March 28, 2013 with a millisecond pulsar known as PSR J1824-2452I, which is located in the globular star cluster M28.

The X-rays emitted during the high mode suggested that J1023 had regained an accretion disk. But how the pulsar switched between the two modes puzzled astrophysicists — until now.

Astronomers have measured the strongest magnetic field ever found in the universe. The honor goes to a powerful type of neutron star, with a surface magnetic field of over 1.6 billion Tesla.

When this accretion process stops, the result is a millisecond pulsar. During their observations, the researchers detected outbursts of X-ray pulsations that went on for approximately one month ...

Astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfRA) in Bonn, Germany and elsewhere have inspected a recycled pulsar known as PSR J1227−6208. The new study, published July 18 ...

Astronomers Catch A Pulsar Powering Up Before Flaring. Complete the form below to listen to the audio version of this article.

When a pulsar (a rotating neutron star) is born following the collapse of a massive star, it is spinning rapidly: initial rotation periods are of the order of 300 milliseconds. The common ...
