A new paper presents a method for distinguishing between different sources of nanohertz gravitational waves. Pulsars may be ...
Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by international pulsar timing array collaborations in 2023 could come from a stochastic ...
Researchers analyzing pulsar data have found tantalizing hints of ultra-slow gravitational waves. A team from Hirosaki University suggests these signals might carry “beats” — patterns formed by ...
In the Crab Nebula, a rapidly rotating neutron star, or pulsar (white dot near the center), powers the dramatic activity seen by Chandra. The inner X-ray ring is thought to be a shock wave that marks ...
When you think of telescopes in space, you probably think of the Hubble Space Telescope and its younger, larger sibling, the ...
In May 1964, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson were testing how radio waves bounced off balloon satellites developed by Bell ...
Physicists proposed “beat” patterns in pulsar timing can reveal nanohertz gravitational wave sources, including supermassive ...
Manuel Linares is a physicist at NTNU who studies binary stars called "spider pulsars." The stars got this name because they could eat their partner, just like some spiders do. "SpiderCat is a large ...
Astronomers have used an X-ray spacecraft called XRISM to observe powerful winds blowing from a neutron star — the findings ...
An artist’s impression shows powerful winds streaming from GX13+1, a bright X-ray source. The radiation comes from hot matter in an accretion disc spiralling towards the surface of a neutron star.
The bold question-askers at What If explore what would happen if a spoonful of neutron star appeared on Earth. The revolt of Marjorie Taylor Greene, now Donald Trump’s fiercest critic Ohio AD wants ...
A discovery involving researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has, for the first time, revealed millisecond pulsations hidden within a powerful cosmic explosion known as a gamma-ray burst ...
