Pulsare sind die kompakten Überreste von Explosionen massereicher Sterne. Manche von ihnen drehen sich mehrere hundert Mal innerhalb einer Sekunde um die eigene Achse und schicken dabei Strahlungsbündel ins All. Diese Millisekundenpulsare ließen sich bisher nur durch ihre Radiowellen aufspüren. Nun haben Forscher des Max-Planck-Instituts für Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institut, AEI) in Hannover mit Unterstützung des Max-Planck-Instituts für Radioastronomie erstmals einen Millisekundenpulsar allein anhand seiner gepulsten Gammastrahlung entdeckt. Entscheidend für den Erfolg war eine neue, am AEI entwickelte Analysemethode. Der Pulsar besitzt einen Begleitstern, den er in engem Kreistanz vernichtet - Astronomen bezeichnen ihn daher als Schwarze Witwe.
