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

GW150914 and gravitational-wave astronomy
Jian Liu,Gang Wang,YiMing Hu,YiMing Hu,YiMing Hu,Teng Zhang,ZiRen Luo,ZiRen Luo,QingLan Wang,QingLan Wang,LiJing Shao +10 more
TL;DR: The first detection of gravitational waves at the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, in the United States, marked the beginning of "gravitational-wave astronomy" that opened a new window looking into the violent sides of our Universe.

TL;DR: Hewish et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a pulsar ina binary system, which is the first pulsar discovery in a binary system and the first one in a radio astronomy journal.

On the dispersion of electromagnetic waves in interstellar space
TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw attention to the fact that the dispersion effect of electromagnetic waves in a plasma is indistinguishable in form from that due to assigning a non-zero rest-mass to the photon.
Dissertation
Towards a Holographic Description of Pulsar Glitch Mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the progress in understanding the underlining physics of pulsar glitches: beginning from the pedagogical development of the subject to eventually motivating the use of AdS/CFT techniques in studying a certain class of condensed matter systems.

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.
