Using the Green Bank Observatory’s Green Bank Telescope and SARAO - South African Radio Astronomy Observatory’s MeerKAT Telescope, an international team of astronomers uncovered 10 monstrous neutron stars in the constellation Sagittarius. Called pulsars, these exotic stars are a part of the Terzan 5 star cluster, which is home to nearly 50 pulsars and hundreds of thousands of other stars. Learn why this star cluster is so unique: https://lnkd.in/e8nxgmp3

Similar to clouds, nebulas’ radio waves sometimes visually resemble everyday objects or animals. This enormous supernova remnant, captured by the Very Large Array, is named after a sea creature. Do you see it? Let us know in the comments! Image credit: B. Saxton, (NRAO/AUI/NSF) from data provided by M. Goss, et al.

A team of astronomers has found a new tool to discover pulsars, rapidly rotating neutron stars that blast out pulses of radiation at regular intervals ranging from seconds to milliseconds. Named the VLA Low-band Ionosphere and Transient Experiment (VLITE), the tool was made possible by a collaboration between the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. Using VLITE, researchers can continually monitor the sky at low radio frequencies by piggybacking VLITE observations on nearly all observations using the Very Large Array’s higher frequency receivers.
