Watch an animation of a black hole shooting jets of particles through a "collapsing star at nearly the speed of light" and ...

A groundbreaking new survey from China’s LHAASO observatory has unveiled powerful ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray emissions across ...

A microquasar belonging to our Milky Way galaxy has set records by generating cosmic rays with energy levels never before seen.

BEIJING -- China's cosmic ray observatory has detected ultra-high-energy gamma-ray radiation from the tail region of a pulsar, indicating a robust particle acceleration process in this area ...

By analyzing the data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Russian astronomers have detected anti-glitches in a gamma-ray pulsar designated PSR J1522-5735. The discovery, published ...

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.

This breakthrough image is of the Vela Pulsar, a well-known gamma-ray source. A pulsar is a degenerate stellar object not much bigger than a city, and we are seeing it from 800 light-years away.

Physicists still aren’t sure how it manages that feat, but taking a more detailed look at the pulsar’s gamma ray beams — whether by telescope or balloon — could help solve the mystery.

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

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

Using Fermi's gamma-ray detection abilities is also having an impact on pulsar timing array work. "Previously, once we found an MSP, we had to hand it off to radio astronomers to monitor with huge ...

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 ...
