NASA’s space observatory captures unusual event gone in a flash

Astronomers predict that a black hole or neutron star could be the cause for this dramatic event

Deep Space

Astronomers use neutron star’s ‘glitch’ to reveal its secrets

These ‘glitches’ provide a rare opportunity to understand the three components of a neutron star

Deep Space

How are pulsars used to identify our position in space?

Read on to find out how these beacons of electromagnetic radiation act like GPS satellites

Deep Space

Astronomers conduct simulations of ‘pulsar in a box’

These new simulations reveal the mad movements of electrons and positrons caught in the intense magnetic field of the pulsar

Deep Space

What is an accretion disk?

Often found around a star or black hole, we find out what an accretion disc is

Deep Space

Astronomers use neutron stars to justify Einstein’s famous theory

This result is ten-times more precise than the previous best test of gravity, making the evidence for Einstein’s Strong Equivalence Principle that much stronger

Zombie star feeds off its companion

ESA’s Integral space observatory spotted X-rays emitted from a unusual binary star system

Deep Space

Astronomers spot light created by gravitational waves for the first time

Marking the beginning of a new era in astrophysics, scientists have detected ripples in space-time and electromagnetic radiation, or light, from the same event

Deep Space

Astronomers detect gravitational waves from merging neutron stars for first time

Before now, the ripples in space-time had only been detected from black-hole mergers

Deep Space

Radio Bursts could be erupting in the universe every second

Based on the analysis of FRB 121102, astronomers conclude that these bursts could be happening continuously all over the sky

Second fastest-spinning pulsar discovered

This pulsar is devouring matter from its companion star to power its rapid rotation

News

Spacecraft finds brightest and most-distant ‘dead star’

ESA’s XMM-Newton has found a pulsar – the spinning remains of a once-massive star – that is a thousand times brighter than previously thought possible

News

Most luminous, energetic pair of stars found outside Milky Way

The dual-star system produces a cyclic flood of gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light

News

Young magnetic star likely to be the slowest ever detected

Astronomers have found evidence for what is likely one of the most extreme pulsars, or rotating neutron stars, found

News

Exotic matter inside universe’s densest stars mapped for the first time

By watching neutron stars merge, scientists have taken a look inside them

News

New type of spinning dead star spotted in the Andromeda Galaxy

Decades of searching in the Milky Way’s nearby ‘twin’ galaxy Andromeda have finally paid off, with the discovery of an elusive breed of stellar corpse, a neutron star
