It also establishes the 2-dimensional galactic plane—the plane in which the majority of our disc-shaped galaxy's mass lies. The 14 pulsar lines also have tick marks, which, based on their ...

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with ...

"There are now many independent lines of evidence that show the galaxy has actually had a highly dynamic history. Tom's analysis of the larger pulsar timing sample shows directly for the first ...

Pulsar timing leverages observations of ultra-stable cosmic ... of merging galaxies by observing an entire array of pulsars distributed throughout the Galaxy, creating a Galactic-scale ...

In new research, we have for the first time tracked one of these pulsating signals back to its source: a common kind of lightweight star called a red dwarf, likely in a binary orbit with a white dwarf ...

A new effort to map the rumblings in spacetime caused by enormous black hole collisions paints a surprisingly loud and ...

A spider pulsar is a pulsar with a companion ... Possibly. "Could our galaxy host a kind of fully steerable binary stellar ...

While previous studies have analyzed this possibility by focusing on the infrared spectrum, a new study expands the possible ...

Researchers in Manchester and Germany found it orbiting a millisecond pulsar 40,000 light years away. Millisecond pulsars spin very rapidly - hundreds of times per second. Project lead Ben ...
