The sky position of the pulsar–discovered solely through its pulsed gamma-ray emission–and its unusual companion have been highlighted by a star symbol. Lines indicate the celestial ...

Scientists have discovered an astronomical object that has never been observed before. It is more massive than collapsed stars, known as "neutron stars", but has less mass than black holes.

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified a neutron star spinning at a mind-boggling rate of 716 rotations per second, placing it among the fastest-spinning objects ever observed.

An international team of scientists have discovered a strange radio emitting neutron star, which rotates extremely slowly, completing one rotation every 76 seconds. The source was initially found from ...

He published his findings with characteristic modesty in a first paper entitled "Possible Existence of Neutron." In 1935 he received the Nobel Prize for his discovery.

The neutron plays a fundamental role in the universe and its discovery was at the heart of developments in nuclear physics in the first half of the 20th Century. Prof Val Gibson tells Melvyn Bragg ...

They have discovered an unusual pulsar - one of deep space's magnetized spinning neutron-star 'lighthouses' that emits highly focused radio waves from its magnetic poles. The newly discovered ...

With that, scientists could also predict which combinations of protons and neutrons can result in a nucleus ... Possibly the most profound modern discovery is the fact that the magic numbers change in ...
