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

Astronomers at NASA say an enormous filament near the Milky Way's center appears broken, and they think they know the culprit. ... could be a fast-spinning neutron star, known as a pulsar.

The Milky Way has a broken "bone"—and it was caused by a collision with a pulsar, a rapidly rotating neutron star, speeding through it at some 1–2 million miles per hour.. This is the ...

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

Despite its size, the bone-like structure appears to have been struck by a fast-moving, rapidly spinning neutron star, or pulsar, causing a break in the otherwise continuous length of G359.13 ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

Astronomers have uncovered a bizarre star, ASKAP J1832, that pulses radio waves and X-rays every 44 minutes—thousands of times slower than typical pulsars. This rare object also dims dramatically over ...

The Trailblazer: A spinning neutron star is tied to a mysterious tail – or so it seems. Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory found that this pulsar, known as PSR J0357+3205 (or PSR ...

A combination of X-ray from NASA's Chandra observatory and radio data indicates that a galactic "fracture" was likely caused by a special neutron star called a pulsar.

Their observations revealed that the host star was between one to 1.6 times the mass of our Sun, while the pulsar was more likely 1.4 stellar masses. Determining the make of the host star, however ...

A large team of astronomers and astrophysicists affiliated with several institutions in China has discovered a binary star system, where one of the stars is a millisecond pulsar and the other is ...
