Imaging the magnetic field in the acceleration zone of the Vela pulsar

An international team of space scientists has imaged the magnetic field that exists in the Vela pulsar's acceleration zone. The group described how they...

Research investigates the latest outburst of pulsar SAX J1808.4−3658

An international team of astronomers examined the recent outburst of an accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar known as SAX J1808.43658. They have used the Neutron...

Different regions in the pulsar magnetosphere produce emissions of different states

Mode switching is an emission phenomenon in which the mean pulse profile abruptly switches between two or more stable states. Changes in current flow...

Astronomers discover seven new pulsars

Astronomers discovered seven new pulsars and determined their basic parameters using the Large Phased Array (LPA) radio telescope at Russia's Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory...

Exploring the origin of ‘black widow’ pulsars

Ph.D. candidate GUO Yunlang and Prof. WANG Bo of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Yunnan Observatories investigated the formation of black widow pulsars using...

Observing twinkling pulsars to understand mysterious interstellar plasma

Pulsars, which are rapidly spinning remnants of stars that flash like a lighthouse, occasionally exhibit extreme brightness variations. Scientists believe that these brief flashes...

Gamma-ray pulsations detected from pulsar PSR J1835−3259B

Using NASA's Fermi space telescope, Chinese astronomers investigated PSR J18353259B, a newly discovered millisecond pulsar. As a result, they discovered gamma-ray pulsations coming from...
