⚡ Pulsars are much richer than we thought
The fast-spinning cores of dead stars, pulsars, appear to emit radio signals not only from their poles but also from their ...
Like anthropologists piecing together the human family tree, astronomers have found that a misfit “skeleton” of a star may link two different kinds of stellar remains. The mysterious object, called ...
Down a seldom traveled side road an hour south of Buenos Aires, two half century old 30-meter single dish radio antennas are pointed upward. Separated by only 120 meters (about the size of a soccer ...
A rapidly spinning dead star’s wacky fluctuations in brightness are due to the extreme environment surrounding the object, according to a team of astronomers who observed it. Pulsars are fast-spinning ...

Dead Pulsars Are Emitting Radio Waves. Massive "Mountains" Measuring 1 Centimeter Tall Could Be To Blame
New research from physicists at Peking University, China, suggests that some pulsars may have massive mountains on them, measuring up to 1 centimeter (0.4 inches) tall. At the end of a giant star's ...
Neutron stars are so named because in the simplest of models they are made of neutrons. They form when the core of a large star collapses, and the weight of gravity causes atoms to collapse. Electrons ...
Imagine a star so dense that a teaspoon of its material would weigh as much as Mount Everest, spinning hundreds of times per second while beaming radio waves across the universe. These are pulsars, ...
