Bell and Hewish discover pulsars
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 ...
Supernova simulations show that low-mass star in binary system J0453+1559 could be a neutron star
In 2015, astrophysicists discovered a system consisting of two compact stars orbiting each other: a pulsar (i.e., a highly ...
'A 2-hour mystery pulse': Radio signals from space reveal hidden White Dwarf system

First pulsar discovered by the GCGPS survey
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 ...
