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 ...

Astronomers from the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) report the discovery of a new millisecond pulsar in the "Snake"—a radio filament in the galactic center. It is the first millisecond ...

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 ...

Astronomers report the discovery of a new binary system, designated LAMOST J065816.72+094343.1. The newfound binary consists ...

Some black holes, bound by gravity, rotate around each other, as shown in this simulated image. Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes Lensing (SXS), CC BY-SA Black holes are regions of space where gravity is ...

In the paper ‘On the origin of the recently discovered ultra-rapid pulsar’ (Curr. Sci. 51; 1096-99; 1982) Venkatraman Radhakrishnan and I argued that the then recently discovered ‘solitary’ ...

The white dwarf-pulsar binary system, PSR J1141-6545, discovered by the CSIRO's Parkes radio telescope. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 31 Jan. issue of Science, published by ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has turned up a world that looks more like a squeezed citrus fruit than a planet, a distorted exoplanet locked in a frantic orbit around a rapidly spinning pulsar.

Some stars never really die. Pulsars are the undead magnetized cores of massive stars that have met their end in a supernova. They rotate furiously, spewing jets of electromagnetic radiation from ...
