Definição e Significado de "pulsar"

Pulsars were first discovered in 1967 by astronomers Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Antony Hewish.

Pulsars emit beams of radiation that can be detected across various wavelengths, including radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray.

The fast rotation of pulsars, sometimes reaching hundreds of rotations per second, contributes to the periodic nature of their pulses.
