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

Oscillations of hamada--salpeter white dwarfs including general relativistic effects.
TL;DR: In this article, a variational approach was used to compute radial oscillation periods for the fundamental modes of zero temperature white dwarfs obeying the Salpeter equation of state using general relativistic, rather than Newtonian, dynamics.

Properties of neutron star described by a relativistic $ab~ initio$ model
TL;DR: In this paper, a relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (RBHF) model with the latest high-precision charge-dependent potentials, pvCD-Bonn A, B, C, with different tensor components, is systematically applied in RBHF model to calculate the properties of neutron star.

Gamma-ray astrophysics
TL;DR: In this paper, the most striking feature of the celestial sphere when viewed in the frequency range ofγ-rays is the emission from the galactic plane, which is particularly intense in the galactic longitudinal region from 300° to 50°.

Astro-Quark Matter:. a Challenge Facing Astroparticle Physics
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of quark matter both in terrestrial experiment and in astrophysics is briefly reviewed, with an emphasis on quark star as the nature of pulsars.

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.
