Using the Five-hundred Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), astronomers from China and Australia have discovered five new pulsars, two of which turned out to have ultra-short spin periods. The finding was reported in a research ...
Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers has observed a Galactic globular cluster known as NGC 6522. As a result, they have discovered two new isolated pulsars in this cluster. The finding is ...
A research group led by assistant professor Wu Chengyuan from Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated the evolution of post-merger remnant resulting from the coalescence of double oxygen-neon ...

Using the MeerKAT telescope, an international team of astronomers has serendipitously discovered a new pulsar. The newfound object, designated PSR J1710−3452, turns out to be an extremely intermittent radio pulsar. The ...
Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), a team of Chinese astronomers has detected a new millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster Messier 53. The finding is reported in a research paper published ...
Using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), astronomers from Columbia University and the University of California Berkeley have detected a new binary millisecond pulsar. The newly found pulsar, designated PSR J0212+5321, belongs ...
By analyzing the data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers from the University of Bologna in Italy and elsewhere have found that the millisecond pulsar PSR J1835−3259B has a young white dwarf companion. The ...
