Bursting Neutron Star Mystery - Sky and Telescope article
Astronomers have become accustomed to exotic and extreme behavior from neutron stars. But even the wildest dreams of the most imaginative theorists failed to anticipate the latest discovery.
 
New Kind Of Star Found - a Scientific American article
An international team of astronomers has discovered a new class of stars--massively compressed old neutron stars that seem inactive but for intermittent bursts of radio waves.

XMM-Newton reveals a tumbling neutron star - ESA press release
Using data from ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory, an international group of astrophysicists discovered that one spinning neutron star doesn't appear to be the stable rotator scientists would expect.
 
'Starquake' Explosion Rips Neutron Star Open - a New Scientist article
Astronomers have measured the thickness a neutron star's crust for the first time, thanks to a breach which spewed a fireball of particles into space.
 
Astrophysicists Discover "Compact Jets" From Neutron Star - A news release of the University of California, San Diego
Compact jets that shoot matter into space in a continuous stream at near the speed of light have long been assumed to be a unique feature of black holes. But these odd features of the universe may be more common than once thought.
 
Massive Neutron Star Rules Out Exotic Matter - a New Scientist article
The colossal density of the stellar corpses might have broken matter down into quarks, physicists thought - a new study suggests otherwise.
 
Neutron stars

Neutron star clocked at mind-boggling velocity - a New Scientist article
The latest speedster, zipping along at 1500 km per second, deepens the puzzle over how these dense stellar corpses reach such astonishing velocities.
 
Supermagnetic Neutron Star Surprises Scientists, Forces Revision of Theories - NRAO press release
Astronomers using radio telescopes from around the world have discovered a spinning neutron star with a superpowerful magnetic field -- called a magnetar -- doing things no magnetar has been seen to do before. The strange behavior has forced them to scrap previous theories about radio pulsars and promises to give new insights on the physics behind these extreme objects.

Chandra Discovers a Cosmic Cannonball - Science@NASA article
Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered one of the fastest stars ever seen. It's a 'cosmic cannonball' that is challenging theories to explain its blistering speed.
 
XMM-Newton: pulsed heartbeat of a weird new type of star - ESA news release
XMM-Newton has detected periodic X-ray emission, or the pulsed heartbeat of a weird new type of star. Collecting the X-rays from the so-called rotating radio transient has confirmed the nature of the underlying celestial object and given astronomers a new insight into these exotic objects.
 
XMM-Newton gives new insight into neutron stars - ESA news release
XMM-Newton has given astronomers and physics a valuable new insight into the most exotic stars in the Universe. Known as neutron stars, the composition of these extremely dense stellar objects has always been something of a puzzle. Now, XMM-Newton has revealed that they almost certainly resemble over-sized atomic nuclei.
