For over a decade, a dim but persistent glow near the center of the Milky Way has confused astronomers. This mysterious emission, known as the Galactic Center Excess, glows in high-energy gamma rays ...

Researchers analyzing pulsar data have found tantalizing hints of ultra-slow gravitational waves. A team from Hirosaki ...

Two Thai astronomers have helped discover a new black widow pulsar designated PSR J1544–2555, contributing to international ...

Astro Brief is a collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and ...

For decades, astronomers have listened to the cosmos through pulsars — rapidly spinning neutron stars that emit perfectly ...

Astronomers using the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) have found a pulsar speeding away from its presumed birthplace at nearly 700 miles per second, with its trail ...

Scientists are leveraging the precise timing of spinning dead stars, known as pulsars, to detect subtle ripples in the fabric ...

A team of highly determined high school students discovered a never-before-seen pulsar by painstakingly analyzing data from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope ...

This artist's concept shows a pulsar, which is like a lighthouse, as its light appears in regular pulses as it rotates. Pulsars are dense remnants of exploded stars, and are part of a class of objects ...

Under the careful scrutiny of increasing numbers of scientists around the world, astronomy’s newest sensation—the pulsars—continued to beep away last week, confounding observers with the breathtaking ...

Ultimately, we do not understand where glitches come from or exactly what's going on inside pulsars. What do you get when you stare at the same dead star for more than 20 years? Insight into the ...
