BECAUSE of the conjecture that pulsars are neutron stars, which are possibly produced ... the discovery of two pulsed radio sources near the Crab nebula, which is the remnant of the supernova ...

The Crab Pulsar is a neutron star formed from the core collapse of a massive star following a supernova explosion. It is located about 6,200 parsecs from Earth.

The Crab Pulsar is a neutron star formed from the core collapse of a massive star following a supernova explosion. It is located about 6,220 parsecs from Earth.

most scientists now believe that pulsars are neutron stars, small and incredibly dense spheres that are residues of exploded stars like the one that formed the Crab nebula; 2) a pulsar had ...

This "pulsing" appearance gives some neutron stars the name pulsars. After spinning for several million years pulsars are drained of their energy and become normal neutron stars. Few of the known ...

Many more pulsars have been found since the first. They are believed to be rapidly rotating neutron stars with intense electromagnetic fields, which emit radio waves from north and south poles.

The Trailblazer: A spinning neutron star is tied to a mysterious tail – or so it seems. Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory found that this pulsar, known as PSR J0357+3205 (or PSR ...
