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

Pulsars are some of the most reliable metronomes in the universe, and scientists are now using their flickering radio beams to keep time across the galaxy and sharpen the search for intelligent life.

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.

An international group of scientists and a massive observing campaign may have uncovered the reason behind a distant pulsar’s flashy behavior. This pulsar, dubbed PSR J1023+0038, has two different ...

In context: Pulsars are rotating neutron stars formed from the remnants of supergiant stars that have undergone supernova explosions. These celestial objects emit beams of highly energetic ...

The pulsar Vela rests a thousand light years away from Earth in a tattered cloud of gas and dust that used to be the guts of a massive star. These magnetic field of this dense, burned-out corpse of ...

About 2,600 light-years away, a dead star is sending signals from beyond the grave. Astronomers recently found the strange beacon, which appears to be a pulsar blinking in slow motion — something that ...
