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

Dissertation
Plasma processes in pulsar environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied coherent plasma effects and collective plasma processes in pulsar environments, where electrostatic oscillations are coupled to propagating electromagnetic waves by a magnetic field inhomogeneity, creating a source of radiation in the pulsar magnetosphere.
Topological Currents in Dense Matter
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the idea of a topological current that flows in regions with large magnetic fields, dense matter, and parity violation, and propose that such a current exists in the cores of neutron stars and may be responsible for the large proper motion (kicks) observed in some pulsars.

Equation of State table with hyperon and antikaon for supernova and neutron star merger
TL;DR: In this article, a new equation of state (EoS) table involving thermal (anti)kaons, Bose-Einstein condensate of $K^{-}$ mesons and $\Lambda$-hyperons for core-collapse supernova and neutron star merger simulations was developed.

Major Advances in Radio Astronomy: Some Key Questions Today
TL;DR: In the last six decades, several outstanding discoveries have been made in the field of radio astronomy as discussed by the authors, which have revolutionized our understanding of the mysteries of the Universe. But, these discoveries have not yet been considered by the general public.

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.
