Astronomers use a Pulsar to Measure Space-Time Warp for the First Time
January 9, 2015 | Editors
A pair of stars orbiting each other has allowed astrophysicists to measure the space-time warp caused by the high gravity produced by the proximity of very heavy stars. Astronomer Ingrid Stairs and Joeri van Leeuwen, an astrophysicist at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, and University of Amsterdam, are the first to see the disappearance of a neutron star due to gravitationally induced changes in space and time.

The Universe Never Stop to Surprising Us: Pulsar Lives in Triple System
May 12, 2014 | Editors
Scientists have discovered a rapidly spinning neutron star with an unconventional living arrangement. This pulsar cohabitates with two white dwarfs, and the three are smashed together in a space smaller than Earth’s orbit around the Sun. The system is gravitationally extreme, with the three members all tugging on one another. Read More
