Credit: Nieder et al., 2019. An international team of astronomers reports the detection of gamma-ray pulsations from the millisecond pulsar (MSP) known as PSR J0952-0607. The finding, available in a paper published May 27 on arXiv.org, sheds more light on the properties of this pulsar and could be helpful in improving our understanding of MSPs in general. Pulsars are highly magnetized rotating neutron stars emitting beams of electromagnetic radiation. The most rapidly rotating pulsars, with...
