Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) and by analyzing archival Arecibo Observatory data, ...

Using the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa, an international team of astronomers has detected 26 new Galactic radio transients. Most of them turned out to be rotating radio transients (RRATs). The ...

A cosmic object with the slowest-ever known rotation has been detected by Australian radio astronomers. The discovery may ...

Pulsars and “long-period radio transients” can pulse anywhere between once every 10 seconds and once every 24,000 seconds. Scientists in Australia, the United States, and England have ...

Most pulsars, the faster-spinning cousins of ASKAP J1839-0756, are like one-sided flashlights. The axis they spin around is closely aligned to the axis of their magnetic field, which means we only see ...

Pulsars and fast radio bursts (FRBs) are fascinating astronomical phenomena that have garnered significant attention in recent years. Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that ...

A group of astronomers has discovered 8 millisecond pulsars located within the dense clusters of stars, known as “globular clusters'', using South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope. Millisecond pulsars ...

But now, a rare burst has provided indications that FRBs likely originate near the star and that they share a feature with the emissions of pulsars, another subtype of neutron star.

In the case of radio-emitting neutron stars, such objects are known as pulsars if they appear to flash or pulse as their magnetic axis sweeps across the line of sight to an observer. RRATs are a ...
