Indian astronomers have performed long-term radio observations of a "black widow" millisecond pulsar known as PSR J1544+4937. Results of the observational campaign, published November 25 on the arXiv pre-print server, shed ...
European astronomers have conducted X-ray and optical observations of a transitional millisecond pulsar known as PSR J1023+0038. Results of the observational campaign, published November 23 on arXiv.org, yield important insights ...
Astronomers report the detection of four new pulsars using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) as part of the GMRT High Resolution Southern Sky (GHRSS) survey. The finding was detailed in a research paper published ...
Indian astronomers have employed NASA's NuSTAR spacecraft to inspect an X-ray pulsar known as 1E 1145.1-6141. Results of the observations deliver important insights into the properties and nature of this pulsar. The study ...
Using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME), astronomers have detected a new radio pulsar in a binary system with a massive non-degenerate companion star. The discovery of the pulsar, which received designation ...
Using the Large Phased Array (LPA) radio telescope of Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory (PRAO) in Russia, astronomers have detected seven new pulsars and determined their basic parameters. The finding is reported in a ...
Using the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), an international team of astronomers have detected a new accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar. The newfound pulsar, designated MAXI J1816–195, has a spin period ...
A dense, collapsed star spinning 707 times per second—making it one of the fastest spinning neutron stars in the Milky Way galaxy—has shredded and consumed nearly the entire mass of its stellar companion and, in the process, ...
