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

Pulsar searching and timing
TL;DR: The International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) as mentioned in this paper was proposed for direct detection of gravitational waves using pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) in Europe, North America and Australia.

Studying planet populations with Einstein's blip.
TL;DR: Gravitational microlensing favours a range of orbital separations that covers planets whose orbital periods are too long to allow detection by other indirect techniques, but which are still too close to their host star to be detected by means of their emitted or reflected light.

Discovery of Low DM Fast Radio Transients: Geminga Pulsar Caught in the Act
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of several radio bursts at 34 MHz, using the Gauribidanur radio telescope, and showed that the bursts have originated from the radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsar Geminga.

X-ray views of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a brief overview of the current understanding of the X-ray observational aspects of low-mass low-energy binary systems with a neutron star and a companion star rotating around each other.

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.
