Observation of a Rapidly Pulsating Radio Source
TLDR
In this article, the first report of a curious class of astronomical radio sources, distinguished by their rapid and extremely regular pulsations, was made by Hewish et al. They are now understood to be rapidly rotating, magnetized neutron stars, or pulsars.Abstract:
Unusual signals from pulsating radio sources have been recorded at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory The radiation seems to come from local objects within the galaxy, and may be associated with oscillations of white dwarf or neutron stars 1968 saw the first report of a curious class of astronomical radio sources, distinguished by their rapid and extremely regular pulsations Hewish et al associated them with unusually stable oscillations in compact stars They are now understood to be rapidly rotating, magnetized neutron stars, or pulsarsread more

Searches for continuous-wave gravitational radiation
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examine the prospects for discovery of continuous gravitational wave signals from fast-spinning neutron stars in our own galaxy and from more exotic sources and discuss the search methodologies and results presented and prospects for imminent discovery discussed.

The drifting sub-pulses of PSR B0031-07 and its synchronously modulated radio polarization
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the orthogonal polarization modes switch at a single pulse level synchronously with the periodic drifting sub-beams seen in total intensity at a frequency centered at 1369 MHz.

The magnetic fields of millisecond pulsars in globular clusters
TL;DR: In this article, the surface magnetic field strength of millisecond pulsars in globular clusters is compared to those in the Galactic disc and it is shown that even though the average spin periods do not differ much, the average surface magnetic fields are two-five times larger in the globular cluster pulsars.

Jr-Wei Tsai,John H. Simonetti,Bernadine Akukwe,Brandon Bear,Jonathan D. Gough,Peter Shawhan,Michael Kavic +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection of giant pulse emission from PSR~B0950+08 in 12 hours of observations made simultaneously at 42~MHz and 74~MHz, using the first station of the Long Wavelength Array, LWA1.

Interplanetary Scintillation of Small Diameter Radio Sources
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the black-body equations to calculate the increased radiation appropriate to the observed brightness increase in the star over a 1,000 A.u. band-width at 5,400 A.U.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the association of solar cosmic rays with flare association, solar particle acceleration, recurrence and low energy solar particle events, and discuss the effects of solar particle particle acceleration.

Possible magnetospheric phenomena associated with neutron stars
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the importance of the early cooling by emission of neutrinos from the Urca process has been underestimated in the foregoing investigations, and the calculations of Miss Tsuruta indicate that a neutron star will rapidly cool to 3 or 4 × 106 °K, but that after 105 years its surface temperature will still be about 2 × 106°K.
