Honey, it’s an Intermediate Mass Black Hole this time!
Here’s a long-sought finding for y’all! Read on to find out more.
A Too-Hot Pulsar Speeding Through the Galaxy
What happens when a pulsar plows through our Galaxy at irresponsible speeds, exceeding the sound speed of the interstellar medium? The answer may (bow) shock you.
AR Sco — The First White Dwarf Pulsar
New polarisation data confirms that pulsations from a white dwarf system are powered by the same process that causes pulsars.
Why Are Pulsar Planets Rare?
Pulsar planets were the first planets outside the solar system ever discovered, but they now appear to be very rare. What makes a pulsar planet so uncommon?
Irregular Clocks: The Influences of Generous Companions
Pulsars, or rapidly-spinning neutron stars, have been observed to suddenly change in spin. Typically, the pulsars we’ve seen do this are isolated—what happens if they have a stellar companion?
Arecibo Detects a Fast Radio Burst
A mysterious Fast Radio Burst (FRB) from beyond the galaxy has been detected at Arecibo. This is the first FRB discovered outside of Parkes Observatory, giving greater credence to the astronomical nature of these signals.
