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

cobra: a Bayesian approach to pulsar searching
TL;DR: COBRA as mentioned in this paper is a GPU-accelerated Bayesian analysis package for performing pulsar searching, that uses candidates from traditional search techniques to set the prior used for the periodicity of the source, and performs a blind search in all remaining parameters.

A New Class of Pulsars
TL;DR: Binary pulsars, pulsars with millisecond periods and pulsars in globular clusters are distinguished by their evolutionary histories, and are providing tools for fundamental tests of physics as mentioned in this paper.

Algorithm of Ensemble Pulsar Time
TL;DR: In this article, an ensemble pulsar time based on the Wiener filtration method has been constructed, which allowed the separation of the contributions of an atomic clock and a pulsar itself to the post-fit pulsar timing residuals.

The Gravothermal Instability at All Scales: From Turnaround Radius to Supernovae
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that an ideal, quantum or classical, self-gravitating gas is subject to a high-energy relativistic gravothermal instability at sufficiently high energy and small radii, when thermal energy cannot support its own gravitational attraction.

The Acceleration of Particles to High Energy
TL;DR: A variety of ideas have arisen, suggesting how and why fast particles are generated in various circumstances as mentioned in this paper, suggesting that the universe is not filled with a hard vacuum, but rather is pervaded everywhere by tenuous ionized gases quite able to short circuit any large-scale electric fields that occur under ordinary circumstances.

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.
