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

Masses, Radii, and Equation of State of Neutron Stars
Feryal Özel,Paulo C. C. Freire +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the current knowledge of neutron star masses and radii and show that the neutron star mass distribution is much wider than previously thought, with 3 known pulsars now firmly in the 1.9-2.0 Msun mass range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology with Gravitational Waves
TL;DR: The most likely sources of gravitational waves are studied and the data analysis methods that are used to extract their signals from detector noise are reviewed, and the consequences of gravitational wave detections and observations for physics, astrophysics, and cosmology are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of pulsar magnetospheres
TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of fundamental physical problems directly related to how pulsars function are discussed, some of which are independent of the specific pulsar mechanism and others relate directly to the physics of the pulsar and already shed some light on the properties of matter at high density and in strong magnetic fields.

Physics of strongly magnetized neutron stars
Alice K. Harding,Dong Lai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the exotic physics of high magnetic field regime was discussed, where a new array of processes becomes possible and even dominant and where familiar processes acquire unusual properties, including free particles, atoms, molecules, plasma and condensed matter in strong magnetic fields, photon propagation in magnetized plasmas, freeparticle radiative processes, the physics of neutron star interiors and field evolution and decay mechanisms.

A millisecond pulsar in an X-ray binary system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of a millisecond radio pulsar in the persistent flux of an X-ray binary system, confirming theoretical expectations, but without direct proof.

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.

Energetic Particles from the Sun
C. E. Fichtel,F. B. Mcdonald +1 more
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.
