On this day 53 years ago, the astrophysicist from Northern Ireland Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered the first radio pulsar, PSR B1919+21🗓️ A pulsar is a highly magnetized rotating star emitting beams of electromagnetic radiation🌟 Pulsars helped astronomers to confirm the existence of gravitational radiation and discover the first extrasolar planets🔭

A team of astronomers, including Danai Antonopoulou and Anna Watts from the University of Amsterdam, has discovered that sudden speed jumps in the rotational velocity of pulsars have a minimum size, and that they are caused not by the unpinning and displacement of just one sub-surface superfluid vortex, but by billions. This result is important to our understanding of the behavior of matter under extreme conditions, and has been published this week in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal…

𑁍♡Pulsar with Messy Hairstyle𑁍♡ NASA used the Chandra X-ray telescope to deeply expose two high-energy pulsars in the Milky Way. This observation is expected to reveal an important mystery. Pulsars are neutron stars that spin at high speeds. It is formed by the compression of a massive star explosion. Neutron stars have extremely strong magnetic fields, which form high-energy pulsed radiation in two magnetic poles

Pulsar A pulsar is an exceptionally polarized pivoting neutron star that transmits light emissions radiation out of its attractive shafts. This radiation can watch just when light emission is highlighting Earth (much like how a beacon can see only when the light is pointed toward an eyewitness) and is liable for the beat appearance of emanation.

Pulsar - A pulsar (pulsating star) is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. Neutron stars are very dense, and have short, regular rotational periods. This produces a very precise interval, between pulses that range from roughly milliseconds to seconds for an individual pulsar. Certain types of pulsars rival atomic clocks in their accuracy in keeping time.

The Crab Pulsar (PSR B0531+21) is a relatively young neutron star. The star is the central star in the Crab Nebula, a remnant of the supernova SN 1054, which was widely observed on Earth in the year 1054. Discovered in 1968, the pulsar was the first to be connected with a supernova remnant. The Crab Pulsar is one of very few pulsars to be identified optically. The optical pulsar is roughly 20 km in diameter and the pulsar “beams” rotate once every 33 milliseconds, or 30 times each second…
