forming the so-called millisecond pulsars. These binary systems will continue to evolve, and eventually the companions can become compact objects such as white dwarfs or neutron stars themselves, ...

In the binary system 4U 1820-30, a neutron star is spinning so fast around its center axis that it completes a breathtaking ...

Astronomers from the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) and elsewhere have observed an X-ray binary ... of a normal star or ...

Neutron stars represent one of the final evolutionary stages of a massive star, forming when stars with at least eight times ...

In X-Ray binary systems, a compact object (like a Black Hole, a Neutron Star or a White Dwarf) usually rotates about an optical star ... Be stars also show excess in Infrared (IR) emission. X-Ray ...

ULTRACAM has been used to study white dwarfs, brown dwarfs, red dwarfs, pulsars, black-hole/neutron-star X-ray binaries, gamma-ray bursts, cataclysmic variables, eclipsing binary stars, extrasolar ...

Magnetic White Dwarfs in the Two Micron All Sky Survey: A Search for Candidate Binary Systems This is the metadata section. Skip to content viewer section. ABSTRACT Our understanding of the formation ...

The binary pair orbits a common center of gravity. The idea behind this binary stellar engine (BSE) is that as they orbit, ...

"We apply the model to candidate systems, spider pulsars, which are binary stars composed of one millisecond pulsar and a very low-mass companion star that is heavily irradiated by the pulsar wind." ...

This white dwarf is also a speedster, whipping around its neutron star partner once every 11 minutes! That means this is the binary star system with the shortest orbital period ever seen.

The sky position of the pulsar–discovered solely through its pulsed gamma-ray emission–and its unusual companion have been highlighted by a star symbol. Lines indicate the celestial ...
