New research from physicists at Peking University, China, suggests that some pulsars may have massive mountains on them, ...

A study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics by a researcher from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese ...

Pulsars, the dense cores of collapsed stars, could potentially have tiny mountains on their surfaces, challenging our current ...

The Vela pulsar is one of the best-studied spinning neutron stars and is an example of the extreme nature of these objects. Created in a supernova around 10,000 years ago, the neutron star has a ...

November 26, 2024, Mountain View, CA – Dr. Sofia Sheikh from the SETI Institute led a study that sheds new light on how pulsar signals—the spinning remnants of massive stars—distort as they ...

Each pulsar has its own signature pulse rate, making them easy to identify, and ideal as reference points on a map. Frank Drake used 14 pulsars to create a map with our sun at the center. Each ...

In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes how they discovered that a pulsar under study since 2020 had a companion star—one that was gravitationally bound to it.
