Inside neutron stars we find exotic phases of matter called “nuclear pasta”.
The first detection of a pulsar and the first Nobel Prize in Physics for an astronomical detection.
Instead of sitting around and twiddling its thumbs when unused, your computer could be contributing to science! Today’s astrobite highlights the discovery of a rare system that was uncovered through the Einstein@Home project.
Since gravitational waves are now on the tip of every astronomer’s tongue, today’s post looks back at a classic paper’s key result that is quintessential in the search for gravitational waves using pulsar timing arrays.
Some fast radio bursts might be the result of a black hole lighting up a neutron star.
