A research team led by McGill identifies neutron stars as the likely source of fast radio bursts, one of the universe's most ...

In the past three years, astronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of radio source. We call these long-period ...

Astronomers say they have traced a mysterious pulsing in the Milky Way to a surprising source: a dead star locked in a dance ...

Radio astronomers have discovered an unusual phenomenon in recent years. They detected radio pulses from the Milky Way that last from seconds to minutes. These pulses differ from those produced by ...

These pulses are unlike anything expected from known radio-emitting neutron stars, or pulsars*, which produce pulses on the order of milliseconds. Furthermore, these so-called long-period ...

What is a cosmic lighthouse? You may have heard of cosmic objects called pulsars – they're a type of neutron star. Neutron stars are the remnants of extremely massive stars when they've reached ...

For the first time, we have visual confirmation of a white dwarf/red dwarf system responsible for puzzling intermittent radio ...

When these stars dance, they make their own music. Astronomers have tracked down the source of a mysterious radio signal from ...

You may have heard of cosmic objects called pulsars – they’re a type of neutron star. Neutron stars are the remnants of extremely massive stars when they’ve reached the end of their life.
