The oldest isolated pulsar ever detected in X-rays has been found with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This very old and exotic object is surprisingly active.The pulsar is about 200 million years old.
- Fermi Solves The Mystery Of Gamma Ray Pulsars
A pulsar is a highly magnetised rapidly spinning neutron star , the dense core remaining aftera supernova explosion.NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope solves the mystery of previously unidentified gamma-ray sources. Fermi has now uncovered 16...
- Cosmic Rays Accelerated By Exploded Stars
Using ESO?s Very Large Telescope and NASA?s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have shown that cosmic rays from the Milky Way are very efficiently accelerated in the remnants of exploded stars. Cosmic rays are extremely energetic particles ? mostly...
- White Dwarfs As Pulsars
A little more than two years ago, in early 2008, there was a shocking discovery from the Suzaku team. Suzaku is an orbiting X-ray observatory, operated jointly by JAXA and NASA. It had detected a white dwarf star, AE Aquarii, emit high-energy X-ray pulses....
- Star Got Swallowed By A Warp In Space.
A star has slipped out of view of astronomers due to the space-time warp. The disappearing star is part of a binary star system called J1906. It's a pulsar, which means it's a rotating neutron star, the result of a massive star collapsing in...
- Nearest Black Hole(or Neutron Star)
According to NASA, astronomers, using Chandra X-ray observatory had almost found a youngest possible Black hole known to exist in our cosmic background, and they even said that it appears to be our nearest possible. The 30-year-old object provides a...
