In the first scenario, an object is formed from a protoplanetary disk and then ejected from its home system due to interaction with a binary star, neighboring planets, or when another star passes by the system. In the second scenario, they … Read more

Three new millisecond pulsars discovered

Pulsars are rotating neutron stars that, like lighthouses, emit beams of electromagnetic radiation. The fastest spinning pulsars with a spin period of less than 30 milliseconds are known as millisecond pulsars (MSPs). It is assumed that they form in binary systems, with the neutron star spinning up due to the accretion of matter from the … Read more
