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 ...

This "pulsing" appearance gives some neutron stars the name pulsars. After spinning for several million years pulsars are drained of their energy and become normal neutron stars. Few of the known ...

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 ...

Pulsars are the rapidly spinning remains of dying stars—the leftover cores of supernova explosions. They're only about 12 to 15 miles in diameter, but most contain more than twice the mass of ...

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 ...

1043-1096 (54 pages) ABSTRACT. We present a summary of what is currently known about the three distinct families of isolated pulsating white dwarfs. These are the GW Vir stars (He/C/O-atmosphere stars ...

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.

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 ...
