Journal ArticleDOI
A new class of radio pulsars
TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of radio pulsars with short periods, long apparent ages, and pulsed optical, X-ray, and gamma ray fluxes significantly below those expected for canonical pulsars had been reported.

TL;DR: The magnetospheric imaging instrument (MIMI) is a neutral and charged particle detection system on the Cassini orbiter spacecraft designed to perform both global imaging and in-situ measurements to study the overall configuration and dynamics of Saturn's magnetosphere and its interactions with the solar wind, Saturn's atmosphere, Titan, and the icy satellites as mentioned in this paper.
