An international team of astronomers has gained new understanding of some of the densest objects in the universe and where the source of their X-rays is. This is all thanks to PSR J1023+0038, or J1023 ...

NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has produced the first-ever X-ray polarization data of the Vela pulsar wind nebula, which lies about 1,000 light-years from Earth in the ...

The haunting images of the hand-shaped pulsar were captured by two of NASA’s telescopes — including the new Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), which viewed the structure for 17 days ...

The pulsar, formally known as PSR B1509-58, was first seen by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory in 2001 and the pulsar wind was found to be 16,000 light-years from Earth. Observations provide ...

This NASA illustration shows the structure of a black hole jet as inferred by recent observations of the blazar Markarian 421 by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE).

How about the “ghostly cosmic hand” of a star corpse that exists 16,000 light-years away from Earth? With the help of NASA‘s newest X-ray telescope, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer ...
