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 pulsars

Search for High Energy Gamma-rays from CP 1133

TL;DR: In this article, the atmospheric Cherenkov technique was used to detect high energy (~ 10^(14) eV) neutral cosmic rays from CP 1133, using the atmospheric CHN technique.

Interplanetary plasma irregularities and ion acoustic turbulence

TL;DR: In this paper, an effect of the ion acoustic turbulence on the inhomogeneous stucture of complementary ionized interplanetary and interstellar plasmas is discussed, and the radio wave back scattering method is suggested for studying ion acoustic turbulance in the ion sound.

Gravitomagnetic Interaction of a Kerr Black Hole with a Magnetic Field as the Source of the Jetted GeV Radiation of Gamma-Ray Bursts

TL;DR: In this article , it was shown that the gravitomagnetic interaction of a Kerr black hole with a surrounding magnetic field induces an electric field that accelerates charged particles to ultra-relativistic energies in the vicinity of the BH.

On the search for coherent radiation from radio pulsars

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined data from pulsars B0950+08 and B0329+54 for evidence of temporally coherent radiation using the modified coherence function (MCF) technique of Jenet et al.

No pulsar left behind - I. Timing, pulse-sequence polarimetry and emission morphology for 12 pulsars

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of twelve pulsars that previously had not been characterized were studied, and the results of single-pulse and average Arecibo polarimetry at both 327 and 1400 MHz aimed at understanding the basic emission properties and beaming geometry of these pulsars.

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

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.
