A personal account by Jocelyn Bell Burnell on the discovery of pulsars.

Brief description of neutron stars.

Scientists using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found new evidence that a pulsar in the constellation of Sagittarius was created when a massive star exploded, witnessed by Chinese astronomers in the year 386 AD.

As one of the research groups of the Jodrell Bank Observatory, we form part of the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Manchester, in the United Kingdom. We have many collaborations with other research groups across the world and, in particular, with the ATNF with whom we are the main partners in the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey

A typical neutron star is the size of a small city, but it may have the mass of as many as three suns.

An accessible introduction to neutron stars that includes details on their life cycles as well as detailed information on neutron star variants such as x-ray and gamma ray bursters.

An accessible summary of neutron stars and X-ray binaries, presented by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Includes a comprehensive Q&A section and a selection of quality images.
