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

Theories of Gamma-Ray Emission from Pulsars
TL;DR: In this paper, theoretical models to explain gamma-ray emission from pulsars from regions within and beyond the light cylinder are presented, and the contribution of pulsars as unidentified gamma-rays sources is also discussed.
Terrestrial and extraterrestrial radiation sources that move faster than light
Schmidt Zweifel,Andrea Caroline +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the emission of a localized charge in constant superluminal rotation and found that radiation sources that travel not only faster than light, but are also subject to acceleration, possess a two-sheeted envelope and a cusp -a region of intense concentration of energy.

OUP accepted manuscript
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigate the efficacy of some solar wind models commonly used in pulsar timing using long-term, high-cadence data on six pulsars taken with the Long Wavelength Array, and compare them with an operational solar wind model.

Exploring the Universe with matter waves.
TL;DR: An exotic ultracold gas known as a Bose–Einstein condensate has been produced and studied in space and could be used to build quantum sensors that probe the properties of the Universe with extreme precision.

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.
