Though magnetars and pulsars are two distinct types of neutron stars, astronomers have spotted a magnetar mimicking a pulsar after launching a mysterious blast of intense radiation.

Using a set of ground-based radio telescopes, an international team of astronomers has observed a slowly-spinning pulsar known as PSR J0901−4046. Results of the observational campaign, published ...

The young pulsar is puzzling because it has properties of both regular pulsars and magnetars, says Gautam Vasisht of California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, an author of the Aug. 6 ...

Magnetars may drive super-luminous supernovas in the local Universe. Matthew Francis – Oct 16, 2013 12:00 pm | 23 Infrared image of dust swathing a magnetized pulsar—a magnetar—known as SGR ...

Stock image of a pulsar, a type of neutron star. Magnetars are another type of neutron star. ISTOCK / GETTY IMAGES PLUS. The strange properties of GPMJ1839-10 don't quite match those of a usual ...

The pulsar sits at the center of the nebula and spins 30 times a second. Enoto’s team was able to capture activity across 3.7 million pulsar rotations, producing around 26,000 giant radio pulses ...

Magnetars also generate radio waves for several months before stopping, not for 35 years and counting, according to researchers. The radio emissions should be slowing down, but as observations ...

The newly found pulsar, labelled PSR J1745-2900, belongs to a specific subgroup of pulsars, the so-called magnetars. Magnetars are pulsars with extremely high magnetic fields of the order of 100 ...
