Each pulsar has its own signature pulse rate, making them easy to identify, and ideal as reference points on a map. Frank Drake used 14 pulsars to create a map with our sun at the center.

Astronomers have spotted a red dwarf star in a system that is almost certainly the source of a radio signal that, for a while ...

An international team of astrophysicists led by the Netherlands and the UK have discovered that radio pulses lasting seconds ...

Furthermore, the observations found quasi-periodic microstructures and various microstructure pulses in PSR J1900−0134. This suggests a periodic emission process in the pulsar magnetosphere and ...

Observing a pulsar is like checking the pulse of a pulsar, revealing the particularities of its ‘heartbeat’. Each individual pulse is different in shape and strength. Dr Patrick Weltevrede Follow me ...

The Sunbird nuclear fusion rocket concept has the potential to more than halve the time to travel to Mars and cut travel time ...

Pulse profiles are created by folding light curves on detected spin periods, thus supplying a periodic signature of a source corresponding to one revolution about its rotational axis. For each pulsar, ...

No, it isn’t rough! There’s just a bit of a pulse and roar that makes it feel very Pulsar. As promised the engine has a lot of grunts - which means you can leave it between 3000-4000 rpm for ...
