RX J0032.9-7348, an X-ray pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud, exhibits a 7.02 s pulsation period and a double-peaked pulse profile across a broad X-ray energy range.

Here’s how it works. A powerful X-ray pulsar is whipping around its stellar partner at a record-breaking speed. According to new data from the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER ...

Neutron stars are so hot the light they radiate passes red-hot, white-hot, UV-hot and enters the X-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.

But they may not remain a mystery for much longer, as a fascinating x-ray pulsar — with the unassuming name J1749.4-2807 — may yet reveal its secrets. Neutron stars are the extremely dense ...

and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, has provided new clues about the nature of that mysterious class of objects. X-2 turns out to be the brightest pulsar ever discovered—so bright that it ...

Here’s how it works. Scientists have detected an odd feature in the X-ray emissions coming from a pulsar, a find that could shed light on the composition of these amazingly dense, fast-spinning ...

The X-ray Pulsar Navigation 1 (XPNAV 1) satellite, which the country launched on Nov. 10 aboard a solid-fueled Long March 11 rocket from the Jiuquan Space Launch Center in the Gobi Desert, ...

Astronomers have employed the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) to observe the X-ray pulsar RX J0032.9-7348 in a broadband X ...
