Observations of a pulsar, consisting of a dead star spinning 600 times a second, and feasting on a stellar companion reveal ...

The fastest-spinning white dwarf ever discovered is a shrinking cosmic vampire feasting on a stellar companion. A feeding process is pushing the dead star toward an imminent supernova explosion.

Using NASA’s NICER (Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR) telescope, a team of astronomers discovered the strange object, and it’s now one of the fastest spinning objects ever observed.

Objects zoom through space at unfathomable speeds, but one spinning dying star 27,400 light-years away might just be a record setter. It’s a neutron star and is part of a binary pair in system ...

A dead star 27,400 light-years away appears to be having one of the most epic stellar discos we've ever seen. This discovery, says a team led by astrophysicist Gaurava Jaisawal of the Technical ...
