Observation of a Rapidly Pulsating Radio Source

Naturevolume 217pages709–713 (1968)Cite this article

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.

Editorial Summary

The first pulsar

1968 saw the first report of a curious class of astronomical radio sources, distinguished by their rapid and extremely regular pulsations. Hewishet al. associated them with unusually stable oscillations in compact stars. They are now understood to be rapidly rotating, magnetized neutron stars, or pulsars.
