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

Pulsar–black hole binaries: prospects for new gravity tests with future radio telescopes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the capability of future radio telescopes to probe the space-time of a black hole and test gravity theories by timing a pulsar orbiting a stellar-mass black hole.

Image formation in synthetic aperture radio telescopes
Ronny Levanda,Amir Leshem +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a tutorial overview of existing image formation techniques and outline some of the future directions needed for information extraction from future radio telescopes, including the imaging process from measurement equation until deconvolution, both as a Fourier inversion problem and as an array processing estimation problem.

Theory of pulsar magnetosphere and wind
TL;DR: In this article, the most fundamental theoretical aspects of neutron star magnetospheres and winds are summarized and the main competing models explaining their radiative properties like multi-wavelength pulse shapes and spectra and the underlying physical processes such as pair creation and radiation mechanisms are scrutinized.

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.
