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

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 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 ...

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 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.

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 ...

A microquasar belonging to our Milky Way galaxy has set records by generating cosmic rays with energy levels never before ...

The team suggests that if there are small mountains on pulsars, China’s FAST (Five- hundred-meter Aperture Spherical ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption event.

It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.
