This was reported by CGTN, according to Ukrinform.

Pulsars, or neutron stars that spin rapidly around an outer center of gravity or common center of mass, are created by supernova explosions and originate from the collapsed cores of massive dying stars.

Observing pulsars is a huge challenge for FAST, as it can help confirm the existence of gravitational radiation and black holes and solve many other important questions in physics.

The recently discovered binary pulsar PSR J1953+1844 /M71E/ belongs to the system of spider pulsars with the highest orbital rotation speed known to date.

According to Jiang Peng, the telescope’s chief engineer, the intermediate state of evolution of red double radio pulsars from redback pulsars to black widow pulsars has been detected for the first time, filling a gap in the theory of spider evolution. pulsars.

As the researchers point out, such pulsars are very difficult to detect because they are so close together at this stage of evolution that they spin extremely fast.

This was possible thanks to the FAST telescope, which is highly sensitive and can detect cosmic radio emissions with high accuracy.

FAST is the world’s largest and most sensitive 500-metre aperture spherical radio telescope located in a natural karst depression in southwest China’s Guizhou Province. Chinese scientists started space exploration using it in January 2020, and it has been open for international research since March 2021.

As Ukrinform reports, an international group of scientists using data collected by NASA’s Cassini mission has discovered phosphorus, a chemical element important to the origin of life, in salt-rich ice grains. Ejecting into space from Saturn’s moon Enceladus.
