Using the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, astronomers have discovered a new millisecond pulsar (MSPs) at a distance of some 7,000 light years away. The newfound pulsar, which received ...
Astronomers report the discovery of a new pulsar using the Spektr-RG space observatory. The newfound object, designated SRGA J144459.2−604207 (or SRGA J1444 for short), turns out to be a bursting ...

What happens to the spin of rapidly rotating neutron stars called millisecond pulsars when reaching the end of their mass-accretion phase? The formation of millisecond pulsars is the result of stellar ...
In the paper ‘On the origin of the recently discovered ultra-rapid pulsar’ (Curr. Sci. 51; 1096-99; 1982) Venkatraman Radhakrishnan and I argued that the then recently discovered ‘solitary’ ...
Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, first detected in 2015. But an expected corresponding low-frequency ...
