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 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 ...

Astronomers from the University of Turku in Finland and elsewhere have performed a broadband spectral and timing study of an ...

During this process, the black hole drags the neutron star's magnetic field, creating a rotational effect similar to that of a pulsar. This rotation produces jets of particles and radiation.

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

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

A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. At its core is a point called a singularity, surrounded by a boundary called the event horizon.

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.
