The 42 pages that link to Pulsar, each with the reason it gives.

• Stellar evolutionBroader topic: Pulsars make some neutron-star remnants detectable long after their progenitor stars have died.

• Radio astronomyBroader topic: Radio pulse timing reveals neutron-star physics and enables precise tests of gravity.

• Neutron starBroader topic: A pulsar is an observable neutron star whose rotation and magnetic field produce timed signals.

• Radio telescopeBroader topic: Radio telescopes measure pulsar pulses with the timing precision needed to study neutron stars.

• Conservation of angular momentumBroader topic: A stellar core’s collapse can greatly increase its rotation rate while conserving angular momentum.

• Jocelyn Bell BurnellBroader topic: Bell Burnell recognized the repeating radio pulses that established this new class of astronomical object.

• Stellar rotationBroader topic: Its precisely timed pulses make rotation periods far easier to measure than for ordinary stars.

• Neutron degeneracy pressureBroader topic: Pulsars are observable neutron stars whose existence depends on a compact remnant resisting collapse.

• Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limitBroader topic: Precisely timed pulsars provide mass measurements that test proposed maximum-mass values.

• Antony HewishBroader topic: The first known pulsar emerged as a repeating signal in Hewish’s survey.

• Galactic astronomyBroader topic: Pulsar timing probes Galactic distances, magnetic fields, and the distribution of ionized gas.

• Astronomical radio sourceBroader topic: Its periodic radio pulses make it one of astronomy's most precisely timed sources.

• Astrophysical X-ray sourceBroader topic: Some pulsars emit X-rays from their surfaces, magnetospheres, or surrounding nebulae.
