Using the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, astronomers have discovered a new millisecond pulsar (MSPs) at a ...

Astronomers have discovered six millisecond pulsars buried amid the data catalogs of the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard NASA’s Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. Pulsars are neutron stars—the ...

Learn more about PSR J2322-2650b, a lemon-shaped exoplanet that may be in a toxic relationship with its host star.

Millisecond pulsars are old neutron stars, which rotate several hundred times per second. They are often found in binary systems and their existence can be explained by mass transfer from a companion ...

Paulo Freire from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn and his collaborators have discovered the first gamma-ray pulsar in a globular cluster using the Large Area Telescope ...

This press release is available in German. Astronomers have tracked down the first gamma-ray pulsar in a globular cluster of stars. It is around 27,000 light years away and thus also holds the ...

Caption: This composite shows an artist’s impression (center) of a millisecond pulsar and its companion with an insert of the ESA/NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of the region (upper left). The ...

What happens to the spin of rapidly rotating neutron stars called millisecond pulsars when reaching the end of their mass-accretion phase? The formation of millisecond pulsars is the result of stellar ...

Astronomers have tracked down the first gamma-ray pulsar in a globular cluster of stars. It is around 27,000 light years away and thus also holds the distance record in this class of objects. Moreover ...

Astronomers have found the brightest and youngest example yet of a fast-spinning star, suggesting that the extremely luminous versions of these super-dense objects may be far more common than thought.
