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

Nikola TESLA's Wireless Systems
TL;DR: After his inventions about the polyphase powering systems Nikola TESLA has focused himself more to experiments with high voltages, high currents and high frequencies, one of his goals was to transmit electrical energy without a power network directly from a central plant to the different consumers.

Pulsars (Theoretical Considerations)
TL;DR: Theoretically, the theory of pulsars can be classified into two categories: theoretical and experimental as discussed by the authors. But the latter is not the case in the case of the pulsars.
Dissertation
Cosmic condensates - vortex, fluxtube and neutron star dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, mesoscopic mechanisms acting in the neutron star core and crust and analyzing the strength of the resulting macroscopic mutual friction for realistic equations of state were investigated, showing that the coupling strengths vary significantly within both layers and the dissipation changes drastically across the crust-core boundary.

The moment of inertia of the neutron star PSR J0348+0432 and its proto neutron star
TL;DR: In this paper, the difference of the moment of inertia of the neutron star PSR J0348+0432 and that of its proto neutron star is studied in the framework of the relativistic mean field theory considering baryon octet.

Magnetic Fields of Neutron Stars in X-Ray Binaries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the main observational aspects related to the presence of magnetic fields in neutron star X-ray binaries and some methods that are used to estimate their strength.

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.
