Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers have investigated the emission properties ...

In this visualization of stars observed by ESA's Gaia mission, the "frequency of the rotating and pulsating stars was ...

Pulsars are the remnants of large stars that exploded in a supernova. Check out these 7 stunning pulsar images shared by NASA ...

An approximately 14 million year old pulsar star that is the “slowest-spinning” of its kind ever identified has been discovered by a PhD student from The University of Manchester. Chia Min Tan, a PhD ...

Scientists in Australia, the United States, and England have collaborated to observe something extraordinary: the slowest pulsar we’ve ever seen. This powerful dead star rotates once every 6.45 ...

Pulsar hunting nights are now the new way to stargaze. These evenings let participants detect signals from pulsars, which are ...

Many more pulsars have been found since the first. They are believed to be rapidly rotating neutron stars with intense electromagnetic fields, which emit radio waves from north and south poles.

It was first detected in January 2024 by the ASKAP radio telescope in Western Australia and is likely to be a kind of pulsar that has never been seen before. When supermassive stars reach the end ...

Collapsed dead stars, known as neutron stars, are a trillion times denser than lead, and their surface features are largely unknown. Nuclear theorists have explored mountain building mechanisms ...

These sources, known as ultra-luminous X-ray pulsars (ULXPs), are neutron stars typically less massive than black holes. The list of known ULPs is still relatively short; thus, studying objects of ...
