The story of pulsars is brought right up to date with the announcement in 2006 of a new breed of pulsar, Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs), which emit short bursts of radio signals separated by long pauses. These may outnumber conventional radio pulsars by a ratio of four to one. Geoff McNamara ends by pointing out that, despite the enormous success of pulsar research in the second half of the twentieth century, the real discoveries are yet to be made including, perhaps, the detection of the hypothetical pulsar black hole binary system by the proposed Square Kilometre Array - the largest single radio telescope in the world.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2008 | | 关键词 | Clocks; McNamara; Planet; Pulsars; astronomy; stars | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-76562-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-0-387-76560-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-76562-4 | | copyright | Praxis 2008 |
