A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen ...

Across the cosmos, many stars can be found in pairs, gracefully circling one another. Yet one of the most dramatic pairings ...

A new simulation by researchers shows how a neutron star violently cracks seconds before vanishing into a black hole.

ASKAP J1832-0911 is a long-period radio transient (LPT) object, which emits radio waves in periods of tens of minutes. But it ...

One of the papers, published last year, describes the simulated results of quakes on the surface of neutron stars before they ...

(Courtesy: Aurore Simonnet for the NANOGrav Collaboration) The universe is undulating with a background commotion of gravitational waves that have been emitted by pairs of supermassive black holes.

It was first revealed by a gravitational wave detector that taps into a multitude of rapidly spinning neutron stars, or ...

The study, published in Nature Astronomy, also describes the first measurements of plasma layers within an interstellar shock wave that surrounds a pulsar. We now realize our local interstellar ...

This "pulsar timing array" could detect the times at which radio pulses arrived to within a millionth of a second. The most likely sources of the newfound gravitational waves are pairs of ...

What's a pulsar and why does it have a shock wave? Our observations honed in on the nearby fast-spinning pulsar, J0437-4715, which is 512 light-years away from Earth.

“Even years after the Arecibo Observatory's collapse, its data continues to unlock critical information that can advance our understanding of the galaxy and enhance our ability to study phenomena like ...
