Astronomers have discovered the millisecond pulsar PSR J0435+3233 within a rare triple star system, noting its unusually rapid rate of deceleration.

Researchers using the FAST telescope have identified the first primordial pulsar triple-star system currently in an evolutionary phase, providing new insights into stellar dynamics.

Chinese scientists have identified the pulsar J0435+3233 as the first known proto-triple star system still in its evolutionary phase.
