Gamma-ray pulsars are remnants of explosions that end the lives of massive stars. They are highly-magnetized and rapidly rotating compact neutron stars. Like a cosmic lighthouse they emit gamma ...

The well-known Vela Pulsar just broke a record for the highest-energy radiation ever detected from one of these highly magnetized spinning neutron stars.

To make sure the balloon captured gamma rays emanating from the Vela pulsar, the team attached cameras that recorded the balloon’s position in relation to Vela.

Astrophysicists have detected pulsed gamma-ray emission from the Crab pulsar at energies far beyond what current theoretical models of pulsars can explain.

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in conjunction with the international Fermi Large Area Telescope Collaboration, announce the discovery of nearly 300 gamma ray pulsars in the publication ...

Vela is nearly 1,000 light-years from Earth and is spewing astonishingly energetic gamma-rays into space.

This revealed the gamma-ray output of the Vela pulsar to be around 200 times more powerful than that of average pulsars.

The astronomers noted that the morphology of the VHE gamma-ray emission suggests that 1LHAASO J0249+6022 is the TeV pulsar halo or a pulsar wind nebula associated with PSR J0248+6021.

Astronomers have discovered around 300 new gamma-ray-blasting pulsars, including several "spider pulsars" that devour the companion stars like black widows.

They added that the gamma-ray brightness of this pulsar, along with a spin period of approximately 2.5 milliseconds and narrow pulse profile, make it suitable for high-precision timing.

Scientists have discovered the first gamma-ray eclipses from a special type of binary star system using data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.
