NASA | A Black Widow Pulsar Consumes its Mate

The video explores neutron stars and pulsars, focusing on their characteristics and the role of NASA's Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope in detecting gamma rays. It discusses the discovery of unique gamma ray sources and the use of optical observations to identify binary systems. The video also highlights computational methods used to find pulsar signals and delves into the study of Black Widow binary systems, where a pulsar gradually evaporates a companion star. These systems provide insights into the densest matter in the universe.
