About 70 per cent of millisecond pulsars have companions of some kind. Astronomers think it is the companion that, in its star form, transforms an old, dead pulsar into a millisecond pulsar by ...

In 1992 astronomers reported the first planet-size masses around a dead star, the pulsar PSR1257+12, which sits 2,000 light-years away. Three years later came news of the first known exoplanet ...

The newfound pulsar has a spin period of 118 milliseconds and a relatively high dispersion measure of 873 pc/cm 3. Its rotation measure was measured to be approximately -1,004 rad/m 2 .

It orbits not one but two objects, a pulsar and a white dwarf. These are the cinders of two dead stars — a massive star that went supernova and a sun-like star, respectively — and was the ...

Most expensive among the 3 Bajaj bikes discontinued in January 2024 was Pulsar F250, a faired version of Pulsar N250.
