While neutron stars typically rotate in milliseconds or seconds, ASKAP J1839-075 takes an astonishing 6.45 hours to complete ...

Astronomers discover an unusual neutron star that emits double pulses, challenging theories about stellar remnants.

An approximately 14 million year old pulsar star that is the “slowest-spinning” of its kind ever identified has been discovered by a PhD student from The University of Manchester. Chia Min Tan, a PhD ...

Pulsars are the remnants of large stars that exploded in a supernova. Check out these 7 stunning pulsar images shared by NASA ...

Pulsar hunting nights are now the new way to stargaze. These evenings let participants detect signals from pulsars, which are ...

When supermassive stars reach the end of their lives and explode in a supernova, the remnants form a super-dense object called a neutron star. Pulsars are neutron stars that spin rapidly ...

Scientists in Australia, the United States, and England have collaborated to observe something extraordinary: the slowest pulsar we’ve ever seen. This powerful dead star rotates once every 6.45 ...

a neutron star. Bell and Hewish's discovery was the first known evidence for this, and the pulsing signal source became known as a pulsar. They changed the name of the signal from LGM to CP ...

But now, a rare burst has provided indications that FRBs likely originate near the star and that they share a feature with the emissions of pulsars, another subtype of neutron star.

So if a pulsar flashes every three seconds, we know that's how long it takes for the neutron star to rotate once. Pulsars are how we first learned that neutron stars are, well, neutron stars ...
