They are believed to originate from cataclysmic processes involving compact celestial objects such as neutron stars, and they typically last a few milliseconds. However, astronomers have recently ...

One of the fast radio bursts appears to have come from the chaotic, magnetically active environment near a type of dense neutron star called a magnetar. Meanwhile, the other fast radio burst ...

This powerful dead star rotates once every 6.45 hours (nearly 24,000 seconds) in a category where other pulsars can take just 10 or 100 seconds to spin all the way around. Neutron stars ...
