Paulo Freire from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn and his collaborators have discovered the first gamma-ray pulsar in a globular cluster using the Large Area Telescope ...

On those three days, just over a millisecond is expected to be shaved off the standard 24-hour day. Of course, you're unlikely to notice such a miniscule difference in your day. But scientists who ...

A researcher in Germany has revealed how “millisecond pulsars” – neutron stars with rotational periods ranging from 1–10 ms – slow over time. By exploring how a pulsar behaves when it stops accreting ...

Astronomers have found the brightest and youngest example yet of a fast-spinning star, suggesting that the extremely luminous versions of these super-dense objects may be far more common than thought.
