Astronomers from the University of Sheffield and Pennsylvania State University have performed X-ray and optical observations ...
Astronomers have detected rare radio waves from a binary star system, challenging previous ideas about their origins. These pulses, lasting from milliseconds to minutes, arrive every 125.5 minutes.
Simulations indicate that the low-mass star in the J0453+1559 binary system could be a neutron star rather than a white dwarf. The star's mass, 1.174 M ⊙ , is unusually low for a neutron star.
