A decade-long cosmic mystery has finally been solved: astronomers have traced strange, repeating radio pulses to an unusual ...

Binary neutron star mergers occur millions of light-years away from Earth. Interpreting the gravitational waves they produce presents a major challenge for traditional data-analysis methods.

Merging neutron stars give themselves away through gravitational waves. However, there is not much time left to observe the ...

Astronomers have discovered that a pair of stars—one white dwarf and one red dwarf—are sending out radio pulses every two ...

Astronomers have figured out where a stream of long radio bursts is coming from, and its origin is unprecedented. Rather than ...

Locating sources of gravitational waves using artificial intelligence could enable astronomers to point telescopes at stellar ...

Astronomers say they have traced a mysterious pulsing in the Milky Way to a surprising source: a dead star locked in a dance ...
