Using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), astronomers from West Virginia University and elsewhere have observed two distant pulsars identified with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio ...

Astronomers using the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) have found a pulsar speeding away from its presumed birthplace at nearly 700 miles per second, with its trail ...

A team of highly determined high school students discovered a never-before-seen pulsar by painstakingly analyzing data from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope ...

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 ...

This artist's concept shows a pulsar, which is like a lighthouse, as its light appears in regular pulses as it rotates. Pulsars are dense remnants of exploded stars, and are part of a class of objects ...

“This work demonstrates the value of large, archived datasets,” said Dr. Sofia Sheikh, SETI Institute researcher and lead author. “Even years after the Arecibo Observatory's collapse, its data ...

In a startling new observation, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected a planet with an atmosphere made almost ...

VLITE 340 MHz image of GLIMPSE-C01 from February 27, 2021. The clean beam is shown as a white ellipse in the lower left corner and has dimensions of 5 0 × 4 7 with a position angle of 52°. The cross ...

Pulsars are highly magnetised, rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation detectable from Earth, while many pulsars coexist in binary systems with companion stars. In these systems, the ...

"Transitional millisecond pulsars are cosmic laboratories that help us understand how neutron stars evolve in binary systems." Astronomers have discovered that radiation emitted by a rapidly spinning ...
