Using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), astronomers have discovered a millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster GLIMPSE-C01 as part of the VLA Low-band Ionosphere and Transient Experiment ...

Old and fast spinning neutron stars called millisecond pulsars could be responsible for an unexplained signal from the center of our Milky Way, reports a team of astrophysicists in a new study ...

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), Chinese astronomers have discovered a new millisecond pulsar. The newfound pulsar, designated PSR J2129-1210O, was missed by ...

High School students have discovered a new star that spins as fast as a Formula 1 race car’s engine. This discovery may someday help astronomers detect ripples in spacetime known as gravitational ...

Surprised astronomers just discovered a world that blurs the line between planet and stellar remnant, hiding in a system known as a “black widow.” “This was an absolute surprise,” said study co-author ...

What happens to the spin of rapidly rotating neutron stars called millisecond pulsars when reaching the end of their mass-accretion phase? The formation of millisecond pulsars is the result of stellar ...

Back in 2009, gamma-ray data from the Fermi-Large Area Telescope revealed an unexplained, apparently diffuse, signal from the center of the Milky Way. The origin of this “Galactic Center Excess” has ...
