An illustration of the 14 pairs of binary pulsars used to measure our galactic acceleration. In a new study just published here in early 2021, the orbital periods and changes in the orbital periods of ...

An international team of astronomers using a state-of-the-art receiver system on the 305-m Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico has discovered a binary pulsar system which promises to be an ...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new "spider" millisecond pulsar, which received designation ...

As a 'gem' at the end of stellar evolution, a pulsar is essentially a rapidly spinning neutron star. When a massive star reaches the end of its life, it expels its outer material into the universe in ...

Millisecond pulsar binaries may produce the excess 511 keV photons seen in the galaxy. These systems could expose hidden pulsars and even exoplanets. Many astrophysicists devote their work to tracing ...

Researchers from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) and their collaborators at home and abroad have discovered a binary pulsar with a 53-minute orbital ...

Using the data obtained by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), a research team led by Prof. PAN Zhichen and Prof. LI Di from the National Astronomical Observatories of ...

An international team of astronomers has spotted a binary pulsar that appears to behave very differently than most known binary systems in our galaxy. The most likely explanation, says the team, is ...

Pulsars are incredible heavenly bodies. They are neutron stars just 20 kilometers (12 miles) in diameter that pack more mass than our Sun. Their defining characteristic though is the beam of radio ...

Rare star system This is the first time that a short-life binary consisting of a neutron star and a helium star has been detected. (Courtesy: Bureau of International Cooperation, Chinese Academy of ...

The general theory of relativity is a remarkably successful model for gravity. However, many of the best tests for it don't push its limits: they measure phenomena where gravity is relatively weak.
