If it is a black hole, it will let researchers test theories of gravity that they couldn’t previously. “The pulsar is just this ludicrously precise measurement device that you've got in orbit ...

“A pulsar–black hole system will be an important target for testing theories of gravity and a heavy neutron star will provide ...

A curious mechanism tied to supermassive black hole jets are causing more nova eruptions in the voids' vicinities.

Could this latest object indicate that black holes can be lighter than just 2.2 solar masses? Or is it the heaviest neutron star ever detected? This "radio pulsar-black-hole binary" — if ...

And the supermassive black hole at its center is shooting an outstretched beam of energy into space. The Hubble Space ...

Using the clock-like ticks from the millisecond pulsar they showed that the massive object lies in the so-called black hole mass gap. It could be the first discovery of the much-coveted radio pulsar – ...

Discovering a pulsar orbiting a black hole could be the 'holy grail' for testing gravity. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert!

A recent study illuminates the origins of low-frequency ripples in space-time. Nanohertz gravitational waves, detected in ...

Black holes are just one of myriad marvels in outer ... before fusion begins in its core. Pulsar—A rapidly spinning neutron star that emits radio energy at regular intervals and is thereby ...

The discovery of the object was made using the MeerKAT radio telescope array in South Africa A new object in the Milky Way that is heavier than the heaviest neutron stars known to scientists, and ...

Using the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), astronomers from Italy and Spain have carried out high-temporal-resolution optical spectroscopic observations of a transitional millisecond pulsar ...
