The positions of the cataloged pulsars shown in a top-down view of the Milky Way. The red and orange symbols indicate millisecond pulsars, while the green and blue symbols indicate young, unrecycled ...

The Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully, for the first time, measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately ...

Astronomers have spotted the highest-energy outburst of light from a pulsar ever seen. The discovery could indicate new physics around these incredibly dense, rapidly spinning dead stars. The team, ...

Scientists using the H.E.S.S. observatory in Namibia have detected the highest energy gamma rays ever from a dead star called a pulsar. The energy of these gamma rays clocked in at 20 ...

"The wild winds of material stripped from the companion star would tend to scatter and obscure radio emission, so even if the pulsar was emitting radio pulses (a very likely scenario), they wouldn't ...

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has discovered a faint but sprawling glow of high-energy light around a nearby pulsar. If visible to the human eye, this gamma-ray “halo” would appear about 40 ...

NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has found a trove of 294 gamma-ray-emitting pulsars, with an additional 34 candidates awaiting confirmation, marking a significant leap in our understanding of ...

Gamma-ray binaries represent one of the most dynamic and intriguing classes of high-energy astrophysical systems. These binaries typically consist of a massive star and a compact object – often a ...

The pulsar Vela rests a thousand light years away from Earth in a tattered cloud of gas and dust that used to be the guts of a massive star. These magnetic field of this dense, burned-out corpse of ...

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