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

Universal Relations for Innermost Stable Circular Orbits around Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars
Shun-Sun Luk,Lap-Ming Lin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of a test particle around rapidly rotating neutron stars was studied and two approximately EOS-insensitive universal relations that connect the radius and orbital frequency of the ISCO to the spin frequency f and mass M were derived.

Neutron Stars, Pulsars, and Pulsar Wind Nebulae
TL;DR: The connection between supernovae and neutron stars goes back to the seminal publications by W. Baade and F. Zwicky in 1934, in which they coined both the term "supernova" and suggested a connection between cosmic rays and "super-novae" and postulated that a supernova event represented the transition of an ordinary star into a neutron star as discussed by the authors.

Current Flows in Pulsar Magnetospheres
TL;DR: In this article, the global structure of current flows in pulsar magnetosphere is investigated, with rough calculations of the circuit elements, and it is emphasized that the potential of the critical field lines (the field lines that intersect the null surface at the light cylinder radius) should be the same as that of interstellar medium, and that pulsars whose rotation axes and magnetic dipole axes are parallel should be positively charged, in order to close the pulsar's current flows.

Wind braking of magnetars: To understand magnetars' multiwave radiation properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a wind braking model of magnetars, where the release of magnetic energy may generate a particle outflow (i.e., particle wind) which results in anomalous X-ray luminosity (LX) and a significantly high spindown rate (Ṗ).

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.
