Glitch in neutron star reveals its hidden secrets Date: August 12, 2019 ... a second soup of superfluid that moves in the core catches up to the first causing the spin of the star to slow back down.

A fast-spinning magnetic star is surprisingly able to slow itself down, leaving scientists puzzled as to how it exists. See how the magnetic neutron star defies magnetar odds.

Glitch in neutron star reveals its hidden secrets In a paper published today scientists have studied the Vela Pulsar, a neutron star in the southern sky, that is 1,000 light years away ...

A thousand light years from Earth is an ancient remnant of a dead star. Known as the Velar pulsar, it's outer layers were blown away long ago, leaving a core crushed by its intense gravity. It has ...

For the first time, scientists were able to get a glimpse of the interior of a neutron star through a glitch in its nature. ... Neutron stars are identified as the collapsed core of a giant star.

A neutron star is produced by the collapse of a stellar core, which crams a bit more mass than our Sun into a sphere about 20 kilometers across. At this density, matter does strange things.

It spins at about 11 Hz and undergoes a glitch about once every three years, speeding-up by about 10-5 Hz.The neutron star has a radius of just 20 km yet has a mass greater than that of the Sun. It is ...

The 'heartbeats' of rapidly spinning neutron stars are usually highly regular, but occasionally 'glitch'. A 'twisted' model could explain this mystery.

The Vela Pulsar is a peculiar neutron star that spins on its axis every 89.33 milliseconds. At the time of its discovery, it was the fastest-rotating pulsar ever found, and while that it is no ...
