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

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 ...

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.

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 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 ...

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 ...

For the first time, physicists have observed a “black hole triple” in space.This new system is about 8,000 light years away from Earth and is made up of a central black hole that is in the act ...

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 ...
