NASA Telescopes Reveal Hidden Properties of X-Ray Pulsar RX J0032.9-7348
A joint study using NASA’s NuSTAR and NICER telescopes has shed new light on RX J0032.9-7348, an X-ray pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud first identified 30 years ago. The pulsar exhibited a 7.02-second pulse period and underwent a significant X-ray brightening event in October 2024. Researchers noted a double-peaked pulse profile and measured...

Neutron Star in 4U 1820-30 Spins at Record-Breaking 716 Rotations Per Second
Astronomers have detected a neutron star in the binary system 4U 1820-30 spinning at 716 times per second, breaking records for speed. Located 26,000 light-years from Earth, the star's surface releases explosive thermonuclear bursts that make it shine up to 100,000 times brighter than the Sun. This discovery offers new insights into the extreme pro...
