Prior to the discovery of FRBs, the most powerful bursts observed in the Milky Way were produced by neutron stars, which are visible from up to 100,000 light-years away. However, according to new ...
Some of them might end up making the Gravitational Wave Background, but the effect of small deformations on neutron stars in our galaxy could be detected as continuous gravitational wave signals ...
Using the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa, an international team of astronomers has detected 26 new Galactic radio transients. Most of them turned out to be rotating radio transients (RRATs ...
The neutron star itself is fairly normal ... on a long quest to reconcile our understanding of the very big and very small. Multiple alternatives to General Relativity have been proposed that ...
If one of these beams happens to point toward Earth, we get a glimpse of a phenomenon called a pulsar. This makes the neutron star appear to “pulse” as it spins, like a cosmic lighthouse. Despite ...
Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a powerful technique used to study the structure of materials at the nanoscale. It involves directing neutrons at a sample and analyzing the scattered ...
