A long-standing enigma surrounding the Crab Pulsar, a neutron star at the center of the Crab Nebula, may have been unraveled.

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.

which today we refer to as the Crab Nebula. As of now, the material ejected in the supernova explosion has spread out over a volume of approximately 10 light years in diameter, and incredibly ...

The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova that appeared in 1054. “Historical records, including Chinese accounts, describe an unusually bright star appearing in the sky,” said the KU ...

The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova that appeared in 1054. "Historical records, including Chinese accounts, describe an unusually bright star appearing in the sky," said the KU researcher.

A theoretical astrophysicist believes he had solved the baffling mystery of the zebra patterned signal coming from the Crab ...

Medvedev’s research provides an explanation for the zebra pattern in Crab Pulsar’s high-frequency radio waves.

When a supernova ... regions of the nebula, rather than from the center outward, Ko said, which adds further evidence to the idea that multiple regions are within the supernova remnant.

Although the nebula was discovered in 2013 and its central star described in 2019, the object wasn’t recognized until 2021 as the remnant of the supernova witnessed in 1181. Historical accounts ...

But this nebula is not a typical supernova remnant. In fact, astronomers were intrigued to find a surviving "zombie star" at its center, a remnant within the remnant.
