In eight new papers, the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational waves (NANOGrav) presents evidence for a gravitational wave background. In this bite, we provide an overview of their results and their implications
The second white dwarf pulsar ever discovered was just announced, and it can teach us a lot about how these unique stars evolve!
We can’t exactly put massive neutron stars on scales, so how do we measure their masses? Today’s paper introduces a new method, using high-energy gamma rays!
Today’s classic paper summary covers the first exoplanet discovery- a pulsar planet!
The optical pulses from a very special pulsar are showing up around 200 microseconds late- today’s authors investigate this very tiny lag to learn why!
INTEGRAL changed our understanding of X-ray binaries, and taught us so much about our galactic home. Here’s a brief look, in awe and gratitude.
