An international team of astrophysicists led by the Netherlands and the UK have discovered that radio pulses lasting seconds ...

A HMXB can either have an early type O or B star. If the B star shows or had shown any H- emission line in the past, it is denoted as a Be star. Be stars also show excess in Infrared (IR) emission.

Scientists have used the wobble of the Milky Way and what are known as "cosmic lighthouses" to shine a light on the mystery of dark matter.

are known as millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Astronomers assume that they are formed in binary systems when the initially more massive component turns into a neutron star that is then spun up due to ...

a neutron star. Bell and Hewish's discovery was the first known evidence for this, and the pulsing signal source became known as a pulsar. They changed the name of the signal from LGM to CP ...
