NASA’s NICER Reveals 1st-ever Pulsar Surface Map

Thu, 09 Jan 2020 07:51:35 GMT

Scientists have reached a new frontier in our understanding of pulsars, the dense, whirling remains of exploded stars, thanks to observations from NASA’s Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). Data from this X-ray telescope aboard the International Space Station has produced the first precise and dependable measurements of both a pulsar’s size and its mass.

Los científicos han alcanzado una nueva frontera en nuestra comprensión de los púlsares, los restos densos y giratorios de las estrellas explotadas, gracias a las observaciones del Explorador de Composición Interior de la estrella de neutrones de la NASA (NICER). Los datos de este telescopio de rayos X a bordo de la Estación Espacial Internacional han producido las primeras mediciones precisas y confiables tanto del tamaño de un púlsar como de su masa.
