Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

A black hole pulsar is a hypothetical object that would temporarily form during the absorption of a neutron star by a black hole. It combines the properties of a pulsar and a black hole. During ...

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

A pulsar–black hole system will be an important target for testing theories of gravity and a heavy neutron star will provide new insights in nuclear physics at very high densities,” said ...

An artist's concept of a black hole orbited by a neutron star. Image: Caltech/R. Hurt (IPAC) When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to ...

Astronomers have spotted a mysterious cosmic object that could be the lightest black hole or the heaviest neutron star ever discovered — or something completely new to science. The unknown ...

A black hole pulsar is a hypothetical object in which a black hole launches magnetic winds that would also sweep around it as it spins, mimicking the appearance of a pulsar.

If a binary black hole system caused the 2.2-year periodic variation in PG 1553+153, then we should also be able to see a longer pattern of variation, about every 10 to 20 years, when the clumps ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.

A hypothetical object, the black hole pulsar, could briefly form during this process. Elias Most describes this phenomenon as a traditional pulsar, but powered by the black hole as it absorbs the ...
