Crab Nebula’s pulsar exhibits unique zebra-like radiation patterns. Plasma diffraction identified as the cause of the unusual emission. Study unlocks new methods for understanding young neutron stars.

The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant that contains a neutron star at its core, which has condensed into a pulsar. This pulsar, only 12 miles wide, spins rapidly and emits beams of electromagnetic ...

A theoretical astrophysicist from the University of Kansas, Mikhail Medvedev, has potentially solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery regarding the “zebra” pattern seen in high-frequency radio pulses ...

But this wasn't just any supernova. It was a supernova that would eventually lead to the formation of the Crab Nebula — a collage of interstellar gas and dust illuminated by the energy expelled ...

A pulsar's radiation is getting refracted by plasma in the magnetosphere. Historical records from around the world describe a bright star appearing in the sky in the year 1054. Today, astronomers ...

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.

THE Crab Nebula in Taurus, which has the distinction of being No. 1 in Messier's Catalogue, is of peculiar interest, as is shown by articles published respectively in L'Astronomie (August 1939 ...
