For more than two decades, a radio signal from the Crab pulsar has displayed perfectly spaced bands. This observation has long intrigued the astronomical community, as no other pulsar shows ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope revisits the Crab Nebula, showing the movement of filaments and changes in gas composition over ...

Spread the loveThe Crab Pulsar, one of the most studied neutron stars in the universe, has long baffled astronomers with its peculiar radio emissions. A recent breakthrough in research has shed light ...

A theoretical astrophysicist from the University of Kansas may have solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery over the origins of an unusual "zebra" pattern seen in high-frequency radio pulses from the ...

Most pulsar radio emissions are spectrally broader and noisy — not banded so cleanly like the Crab Pulsar. An NASA image of the Crab Nebula seen by the James Webb Space Telescope. LAWRENCE — For the ...

Medvedev modeled wave diffraction off a circular reflecting region with radially varying index of refraction outside of it to better understand the Crab Nebula’s zebra pattern. LAWRENCE — A ...
