For the past two decades, scientists have wondered about a bright, distinct striped pattern seen in radio waves emanating ...

A mysterious striped signal from the Crab Pulsar may finally be explained by a delicate balance between plasma effects and gravitational lensing.

New research from the University of Kansas untangles a decades-old astrophysical puzzle, showing how competing forces -- ...

Astronomers have identified a potential ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds close to Sagittarius A*, the ...

The astronomical community has spent two decades wondering why the Crab Pulsar, the stellar remnant born from a supernova that Chinese and Japanese astronomers documented in the year 1054, emits radio ...

The Milky Way’s fastest observed pulsar is speeding out of the galaxy at more than 670 miles a second, propelled largely by a kick it received at its birth 2.5 million years ago. Using the Very Long ...

Indian astronomers have investigated an ultraluminous X-ray pulsar in the galaxy NGC 4631, designated X-8. The new study, described in a paper published Feb. 16 on the arXiv preprint server, provides ...

Astronomers suspect the heart of the Milky Way may be hiding a big secret: a rapidly spinning, highly magnetic, neutron ...

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 ...
