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

Astronomers have spotted a red dwarf star in a system that is almost certainly the source of a radio signal that, for a while ...

Stars Are Born and Die Every Day - Here's How They Evolve in Space. Teaming Up-Twice. Just as a shared center of gravity ties ...

An international team of astrophysicists led by the Netherlands and the UK have discovered that radio pulses lasting seconds ...

In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly ...

Scientists have used the wobble of the Milky Way and what are known as "cosmic lighthouses" to shine a light on the mystery ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Be stars also show excess in Infrared (IR) emission. X-Ray Pulsars are magnetized Neutron Stars. In Binary systems, when the Neutron Star enters the accretion regime, it starts to accrete matter from ...
