Eventually, the pulsar slows down because the radiation it emits removes the energy from the system. In some cases, the ...

Astronomers have uncovered an extraordinary exoplanet circling a pulsar, a remnant of a exploded massive star. Named PSR ...

A two-faced star just helped weigh an extra-massive pulsar. The star takes about four hours to orbit its companion, a fast-spinning stellar corpse called a pulsar that’s about 10,000 light-years from ...

Webb telescope discovered a bizarre exoplanet with carbon atmosphere, no hydrogen, orbiting a super-dense spinning star.

Watch out, because this thing eats entire stellar masses: a rapidly rotating collapsed star known as a pulsar is making a meal out of its neighboring star, nearly devouring it whole. That engorging ...

Astronomers have witnessed a never-seen-before event in observations by ESA’s XMM-Newton spacecraft – a collision between a pulsar and a ring of gas around a neighbouring star. The rare passage, which ...

Like anthropologists piecing together the human family tree, astronomers have found that a misfit “skeleton” of a star may link two different kinds of stellar remains. The mysterious object, called ...

A perplexing fast-spinning star just might be the "missing link" in a long-standing pulsar mystery, scientists say. The so-called neutron star — a city-sized stellar remnant born from the explosive ...
