Exploring Diverse Pulsars in Terzan 5
New Insights into Pulsar Variety Terzan 5, nestled in the heart of the Milky Way, pulsates with newfound energy as astronomers uncover the presence of 10 novel pulsars in this…
Terzan 5 is a globular cluster located in the constellation Sagittarius. It is notable for its density and mass, containing a large number of stars, including several that have been identified as being in binary systems. Terzan 5 is particularly interesting to astronomers because it contains a high concentration of exotic stellar remnants, such as neutron stars and black holes. It is situated close to the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which makes it a valuable subject for studying stellar evolution and the dynamics of star clusters. The cluster is named after French astronomer Achille Terzan, who discovered it in 1968. Terzan 5 is also recognized for its age, which is estimated to be around 12 billion years, making it one of the older globular clusters in our galaxy.
