European astronomers have conducted a detailed, long-term X-ray monitoring campaign of a magnetar known as SGR J1935+2154, since it entered its active phase, experiencing numerous X-ray outbursts. Results of the study, published ...
In our sun's neighborhood of the Milky Way Galaxy is a relatively bright star, and in it, astronomers have been able to identify the widest range of elements in a star beyond our solar system yet.

An international team of astronomers reports the finding of a new pulsar in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) as part of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) survey. ...
The flashing of a nearby star has drawn MIT astronomers to a new and mysterious system 3,000 light years from Earth. The stellar oddity appears to be a new "black widow binary"—a rapidly spinning neutron star, or pulsar, ...

An international team of astronomers has detected a new kilonova associated with a nearby gamma-ray burst (GRB) known as GRB 211211A. The finding, reported in a paper published April 22 on arXiv.org, could improve our understanding ...
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a rare double neutron star millisecond pulsar. The newfound binary pulsar, designated PSR J1325−6253, consists of two neutron stars orbiting one another every ...
Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers has investigated a globular cluster known as NGC 6440. In result, two new millisecond pulsars have been detected in this cluster, which received designations ...
Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers has detected 13 new pulsars in the globular cluster NGC 1851. Twelve of them turned out to be millisecond pulsars (MSPs). The discovery was reported ...
Superconductors have long been considered the principal approach for realizing electronics without resistivity. In the past decade, a new family of quantum materials, "topological materials," has offered an alternative but ...
