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

While neutron stars typically rotate in milliseconds or seconds, ASKAP J1839-075 takes an astonishing 6.45 hours to complete ...

An approximately 14 million year old pulsar star that is the “slowest-spinning” of its kind ever identified has ... Chia Min Tan explains: “The radio emission that comes from a pulsar acts like a ...

Radio waves have been detected from what appears to be a pulsar, with just one problem – it‘s spinning thousands of times ...

Like an out of control lighthouse, the pulsar sends a beam of radio waves ... In the end, they were able to calculate the star's radius, with the help of mass measurements made by Daniel Reardon ...

Until recently, astronomers believed that all pulsars, defined as rapidly spinning neutron stars, fit neatly into that category. As a star dies, it accelerates due to the immense force of the ...

This came from a theory put forth by Robert Oppenheimer and Fritz Zwicky in the 1930s, predicting that when a massive star died ... lantern of a lighthouse. The discovery of pulsars was exciting ...

The direct detection of spin with this technique will observationally validate the rotating lighthouse model of pulsar emission, while the detection of the relative directions of spin and orbital ...

After one such explosion blows a star's outer layers ... beam of light from a turning lighthouse. This "pulsing" appearance gives some neutron stars the name pulsars. After spinning for several ...

222 pulsars and 15 magnetars have abnormal distribution of frequency second derivatives, which also make contradiction with classical understanding. How neutron star magnetospheric activities affect ...
