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

Fundamental physics from black holes, neutron stars and gamma-ray bursts
Remo Ruffini,Remo Ruffini +1 more
TL;DR: Gamma-ray bursts and supernovae bring new perspectives to the study of neutron stars and white dwarfs, as well as opening new branches of theoretical physics and astrophysics.

On the polar cap cascade pair multiplicity of young pulsars
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-analytic model was proposed to estimate the maximum possible multiplicity of pair plasma in pulsar magnetospheres in the curvature radiation/synchrotron regime.

A nuclear many-body theory at finite temperature applied to protoneutron star
TL;DR: In this article, the Boguta and Bodmer model is extended by the inclusion of the fundamental baryon octet and leptonic degrees of freedom, and Trapped neutrinos are included in order to describe protoneutron star properties through the integration of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations.
Dissertation
Temporal analysis of the least energetic events in pulsar data from observations with the high energy stereoscopic system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the detection of pulsed, very high-energy (VHE) 7-ray emission from pulsars and derived upper limits on the integral and differential flux.

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.
