Neutron stars are already considered some of the most peculiar objects in the universe, but now the Hubble Space telescope has found one that is even more odd: it's giving off a bizarre swirling ...

Neutron stars, the end-stage remnants of massive stars, are high-energy objects. They’re usually studied in X-rays, some of the most energetic light in the universe. Neutron stars also give off radio ...

Illustrated GIF showing a neutron star with a circum-pulsar disk. If seen at the proper angle the scattered emission from the inner part of the disk could produce the extended infrared emission ...

Astronomers have noticed something unusual around a nearby neutron star, known as RX J0806.4-4123. Using the Hubble Space Telescope, a team led by Bettina Posselt from Pennsylvania State University, ...

This is an infrared image of a neutron star (source on right in box) with an extended infrared emission obtained from observations with the Hubble Space Telescope. The blue circle indicates the pulsar ...

Somewhere out in space, a pulsar is acting strangely. It's emitting infrared radiation—and nothing else—in a way that's making scientists reconsider what they known about these cosmic phenomena. After ...

This image shows multiwavelength perspectives on the pulsar PSR B1509-58. The 2 Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) infrared images shows a large area of the sky around the pulsar. The SuperCOSMOS optical ...
