T he nearest millisecond pulsar PSR J0437-4715 has a radius of 11.4 kilometers and a mass 1.4 times that of the sun. These are the results of precision measurements made by a team of researchers ...

Pulsar hunting nights are now the new way to stargaze. These evenings let participants detect signals from pulsars, which are ...

One of them is PSR J1023+0038 (or J1023 for short), first identified two decades ago. The pulsar has a spin period of 1.69 ...

If confirmed by current additional observations, this would make this millisecond pulsar a formidable laboratory for studying fundamental physics“. The 8 new pulsars are just the tip of the iceberg: ...

Millisecond Pulsar (MSP): A pulsar with a rotation period of less than 20 milliseconds, often found in binary systems. Black Widow Pulsar: A type of millisecond pulsar that is in a binary system ...

It helps that J0337+1715 is a millisecond pulsar, its signals arriving 366 times a second. So far, General Relativity has won out, leading physicists to conclude any deviation from equal ...

Pulsar J1719-1438 is a very fast-spinning pulsar—what’s called a millisecond pulsar. Amazingly, it rotates more than 10,000 times per minute, has a mass of about 1.4 times that of our Sun but is only ...

His primary research is in work on understanding the statistical noise processes for the millisecond pulsars in the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) pulsar ...
