While the scientific community grapples with the loss of the Arecibo radio telescope, astronomers who recently revived a long-dormant radio telescope array in Argentina hope it can help modestly ...
For more than two decades, radio astronomers have been hunting for a specific kind of needle in the Milky Way’s most chaotic ...
A European team involving the Max Planck Institutes for Gravitational Physics and Radio Astronomy, together with Indian and Japanese astronomers, has discovered the first evidence of a gravitational ...
Pulsar timing arrays exploit the extraordinary rotational stability of millisecond pulsars as a network of galactic clocks. By precisely measuring the arrival times of radio pulses over years to ...
A group of Chinese scientists has recently found key evidence for the existence of nanohertz gravitational waves, marking a new era in nanoHertz gravitational wave research. The research was based on ...
LIGO confirmed the existence of gravitational waves in 2015, detecting one-time perturbations of spacetime from the merger of large black holes. There should be a background of gravitational waves ...
Keeping time: using an array of pulsars to look for gravitational waves An international team of astronomers has come up with a new way of keeping track of time by observing a collection of pulsars – ...
Pulsar timing leverages observations of ultra-stable cosmic clocks known as pulsars to probe fundamental physics, from tests of alternate theories of gravity to constraints of extreme nuclear physics ...
