Now, according to a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal, there could be a pulsar at the center of our Milky Way—and it could open a new chapter in physics. Researchers from Columbia ...

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

If the pulsar is confirmed, it could enable more precise measurements of the space-time around the galaxy’s central supermassive black hole ...

Confirming a pulsar star would enable unprecedented tests of General Relativity. Such a discovery would revolutionize physics ...

Pulsars are a special class of neutron stars that spin very quickly on their axes, releasing pulses of radio waves. These ...

Astronomers have analyzed the data from long-term radio observations of a binary pulsar known as PSR J1906+0746. Results of the new study, published February 5 on the arXiv pre-print server, deliver ...
