A binary system containing one of these objects was discovered by Taylor and Hulse, who shared a Nobel for the discovery.
An important technique for probing the free electron density of the interstellar medium makes use of the dispersion measure associated with observations of these objects. A binary system containing one of these objects was discovered by Taylor and Hulse, who shared a Nobel for the discovery. The lighthouse model is sometimes used to illustrate the effects of the misalignment of their rotational and magnetic axes, including the generation of beamed synchrotron radiation which appears to blink at a very steady frequency. The central object of the Crab Nebula and LGM-1, discovered by Jocelyn Bell, are examples of, FTP, these magnetized, rapidly rotating neutron stars.
