A research team led by Prof. Wang Bo from Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has explained the formation of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) with long orbital periods by ...

Old and fast spinning neutron stars called millisecond pulsars could be responsible for an unexplained signal from the center of our Milky Way, reports a team of astrophysicists in a new study ...

The first pulsar was discovered in 1967. With an increase in pulsar observations, astronomers have found that some pulsars have a proper motion velocity greater than 1000 km/s, and the number of such ...

A new simulation of the evolution of binary stars shows that previously neglected millisecond pulsars could explain the excess gamma-ray radiation seen in our Galaxy’s center. Researchers think that ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The Galactic Center Excess, shines in high-energy gamma rays that can't be explained by ordinary astrophysical processes. Its ...

The results of a survey of middle-aged pulsars suggest that a feature previously seen around a handful of pulsars might be ubiquitous. In 2017, researchers with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC ...

Two Thai astronomers have helped discover a new black widow pulsar designated PSR J1544-2555, contributing to international research that could enhance understanding of binary star systems and pulsar ...

What happens to the spin of rapidly rotating neutron stars called millisecond pulsars when reaching the end of their mass-accretion phase? The formation of millisecond pulsars is the result of stellar ...

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 ...

Data from the Chandra X-ray Telescope has revealed spider pulsars, which are a group of dead stars, in globular cluster Omega Centauri "preying' on nearby stars. The Chandra team explains. Credit: ...
