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

A pulsar operates akin to a cosmic lighthouse - rotating quickly around its own axis, while emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation. When observed from Earth, it appears the celestial object ...

Pulsar timing leverages observations of ultra-stable cosmic clocks known as pulsars to probe fundamental physics, from tests of alternate theories of gravity to constraints of extreme nuclear physics ...

An international team of scientists have developed a promising new technique which could turn pulsars – superb natural cosmic clocks – into even more accurate time-keepers. This important advance, led ...

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), astronomers have performed high-resolution observations of a nearby ...

Imagine cutting a trip to Mars in half. That’s the promise of Sunbird, a groundbreaking nuclear fusion rocket concept ...

Pulsar timing arrays, acting as cosmic timekeepers, are providing astronomers with unprecedented tools to detect gravitational forces and refine black hole searches. '100,000 years of radiation ...

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) made a groundbreaking observation by capturing the gamma-ray radiation from the tail region of the bow-shock pulsar wind nebula associated with ...

The Fermi Telescope, a space observatory orbiting in space, had already been investigating the pulsar itself but HAWC has a unique perspective on the way the cosmic rays interact with the ...
