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

About 2,600 light-years away, a dead star is sending signals from beyond the grave. Astronomers recently found the strange ...

Data from the Chandra X-ray Telescope has revealed spider pulsars, which are a group of dead stars, in globular cluster Omega ...

The scintillation arcs also gave us the velocities of the plasma layers. Far from being as expected, we discovered that one ...

Ever wondered why stars twinkle but planets don’t? Discover the simple science behind this sky mystery and how scientists ...

Pulsars are the remnants of giant stars that exploded in a supernova. Check out these 7 breathtaking images of pulsars ...

Many more pulsars have been found since the first. They are believed to be rapidly rotating neutron stars with intense electromagnetic fields, which emit radio waves from north and south poles.

Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation. The most rapidly rotating pulsars, with rotation periods below 30 milliseconds, are known as ...

Be stars also show excess in Infrared (IR) emission. X-Ray Pulsars are magnetized Neutron Stars. In Binary systems, when the Neutron Star enters the accretion regime, it starts to accrete matter from ...

A pulsar is a neutron star, a super-dense stellar remnant that produces beams of radio waves and an energetic "wind" of particles. The pulsar and its wind move with supersonic speed through the ...
