UK-based researchers can once again access the €95-billion funding programme — for some, the deal has come too late. UK-based researchers can once again access the €95-billion funding programme — for some, the deal has come too late.

A dozen of the world’s best telescopes were enlisted to explain the behavior of an object that has puzzled scientists for more than a decade.

A distant pulsar known as J1023 is ejecting huge amounts of matter at nearly the speed of light

With a remarkable observational campaign that involved 12 telescopes both on the ground and in space, including three European Southern Observatory (ESO) facilities, astronomers have uncovered the strange behaviour of a pulsar, a super-fast-spinning dead star. This mysterious object is known to switch between two brightness modes almost constantly, something that until now has been an enigma. But astronomers have now found that sudden ejections of matter from the pulsar over very short periods a...

A rapidly spinning dead star’s wacky fluctuations in brightness are due to the extreme environment surrounding the object, according to a team of astronomers who observed it.

The spinning, dead star was emitting radiation in two modes, and a team of scientists believes it knows why.
