PSR J0537-6910 is apulsar that is 4,000 years old (not including the light travel time toEarth). It is located about 170,000light-years away, in the southernconstellation ofDorado, and is located in theLarge Magellanic Cloud. It rotates at 62hertz.
A team atLANL advanced that it is possible to predictstarquakes in J0537-6910,[1] meaning that it may be possible to devise a way to forecastglitches at least in some exceptional pulsars.[2] The same team observed magnetic pole drift on this pulsar with observational data fromRossi X-ray Timing Explorer.
