Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit regular radio wave pulses and beams of magnetic radiation, which can ...

Using a set of ground-based radio telescopes, an international team of astronomers has observed a slowly-spinning pulsar ...

NASA's Chandra Observatory recently captured an X-ray image that helped identify a dramatic break in one of the galaxy's ...

A recent study has revealed that a pulsar—a highly magnetised, rapidly rotating neutron star—has collided with a vast ...

If this supernova is lopsided, the neutron star can be booted unceremoniously across the galaxy at high speeds, something ...

Astronomers have employed the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and the Neutron Star Interior Composition ...

Objects known as neutron stars, or pulsars, are the densest in the universe, but they suffer from seismic disturbances.

Have you ever had an X-ray taken of your bones? Well, so has the Milky Way. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory regularly images ...

Astronomers have described the first measurements of plasma layers within an interstellar shock wave that surrounds a pulsar.

The careening star blasted through the galactic filament, known as "the Snake," at a zippy 1–2 million miles per hour.

So, long-period transients can’t be so slow and so bright if they’re caused by the same mechanisms as rotationally powered pulsars. Some might still be neutron stars behaving in unexpected ways.
