Indian astronomers have investigated an ultraluminous X-ray pulsar in the galaxy NGC 4631, designated X-8. The new study, described in a paper published Feb. 16 on the arXiv preprint server, provides ...

A long look at a young pulsar with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory revealed unexpectedly rapid cooling, which suggests that it contains much denser matter than previously expected. The pulsar’s cool ...

Using China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), researchers have uncovered new magnetic field structures in a rare class of binary star systems known as spider pulsars, ...

For the first time, the Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo ...

Astronomers suspect the heart of the Milky Way may be hiding a big secret: a rapidly spinning, highly magnetic, neutron ...

A team of astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope has detected a faint but tantalizing signal from the center of the Milky Way: a possible millisecond pulsar spinning once every 8.19 milliseconds, ...

During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.
