Astronomers from Nanjing University in China have analyzed the archival data from the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical ...

A pulsar’s gentle twinkle is revealing how space quietly bends and delays the signals we receive from the cosmos.

A distant pulsar’s radio signal flickers as it passes through space, much like stars twinkle in Earth’s atmosphere. By ...

An international team of astronomers has gained new understanding of some of the densest objects in the universe and where the source of their X-rays is. This is all thanks to PSR J1023+0038, or J1023 ...

Imagine a star so dense that a teaspoon of its material would weigh as much as Mount Everest, spinning hundreds of times per second while beaming radio waves across the universe. These are pulsars, ...

Researchers have successfully identified how solar eruptions and internal pulsar mode changes interfere with precision cosmic ...

December 10, 2025, Mountain View, CA -- For 10 months, a SETI Institute–led team watched pulsar PSR J0332+5434 (also called B0329+54) to study how its radio signal "twinkles" as it passes through gas ...

A newly discovered pulsar, PSR J0311+1402, located approximately 2,600 light-years away, exhibits an unusually long rotation period of 41 seconds, bridging a gap between typical pulsars and ...
