Listening for gravitational wave beats in pulsar timing data
Paris, France (SPX) Oct 16, 2025 The rhythmic ticking of pulsars - neutron stars that beam radio pulses with atomic precision - could soon reveal subtle "beats" from gravitational waves passing through the galaxy. A new theoretical study by Hideki Asada and Shun Yamamoto of Hirosaki University suggests that ultra-low-frequency gravitational waves might create interference patterns detectable in pulsar timing array (PTA) observations. In 2023, international PTA collaborations such as NANOGrav in the United States and their Europea ... read more |

Does the universe behave the same way everywhere? Rome, Italy (SPX) Feb 18, 2025 "The cosmological principle is like an ultimate kind of statement of humility," says James Adam, an astrophysicist at the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town, South Africa, and lead author o ... more |
Euclid spots an extraordinary Einstein ring in NGC 6505
Paris, France (SPX) Feb 12, 2025 Euclid embarked on its ambitious six-year mission to probe the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy when it launched on July 1, 2023. Before it could commence full-scale observations, scientists and engineers conducted critical instrument tests. During this commissioning phase in September 2023, the spacecraft transmitted a set of preliminary images back to Earth. Though intentionally blurred, one image caught the attention of Euclid Archive Scientist Bruno Altieri, who noticed an intriguing feature ... read more
