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

Star formation across cosmic time with radio surveys. The promise of the SKA
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the major recent advances in radio astronomy made possible by ultra-deep surveys, reaching microJansky flux density levels, and a giant step forward in many fields, including the study of the evolution of the cosmic star formation history is expected with the advent of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA).

Generation of magnetic fields in plasmas
TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of relativistic and non-relativistic charged plasmas is studied in astrophysical scenarios, as well as in laboratory Plasmas.
Dissertation
Search for gravitational waves from a nearby neutron star using barycentric resampling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a search done on the LIGO S5 data, looking for an isolated neutron star hypothesized to be at a distance of about 100 parsecs.

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.
