For decades, astronomers have listened to the cosmos through pulsars — rapidly spinning neutron stars that emit perfectly ...

They suggest that when two supermassive black hole binaries emit waves at almost the same frequency, their interference ...

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 ...

Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by ...

Data from the Chandra X-ray Telescope has revealed spider pulsars, which are a group of dead stars, in globular cluster Omega Centauri "preying' on nearby stars. The Chandra team explains. Credit: ...

Astronomers report the discovery of two new highly scattered pulsars as part of the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) survey. The findings are detailed in a ...

Observations have shown that galaxies, from our own Milky Way to far out into the distant universe, often host supermassive black holes at their centres. While the exact growth history of supermassive ...

The vastness of space allows for a huge variety of structures to pop up all over the place. Even things we think of as one-and-done objects—like galaxies—come in quite a few shapes and sizes. Follow ...

Quasars are the bright centers of young galaxies powered by supermassive black holes. Most quasars are very distant and faint, making them difficult to observe. One quasar, 0957+561, is ...
