A theoretical astrophysicist may have solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery over the origins of an unusual 'zebra' pattern seen in high-frequency radio pulses from the Crab Nebula. A theoretical ...
A global science collaboration using data from NASA’s Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) telescope on the International Space Station has discovered X-ray surges accompanying radio ...
Historical records from around the world describe a bright star appearing in the sky in the year 1054. Today, astronomers are confident that what our ancestors were seeing was, in truth, a star that ...
Most pulsar radio emissions are spectrally broader and noisy — not banded so cleanly like the Crab Pulsar. An NASA image of the Crab Nebula seen by the James Webb Space Telescope. LAWRENCE — For the ...
Medvedev modeled wave diffraction off a circular reflecting region with radially varying index of refraction outside of it to better understand the Crab Nebula’s zebra pattern. LAWRENCE — A ...
