pulsar

• If a pulsar is, in fact, a rapidly rotating neutron star—as has been hypothesized by T. Gold—then it is quite possible that the star has a cloud of gas and a magnetic field associated with it. —  Analog October 1971
• A last, and quite exciting possibility, is that a pulsar might be causing the nebula's X-ray source. —  Analog March, 1971
• The nebula has its own pulsar, and it is an unusual one. —  Analog March, 1971
• It seems unlikely that the nebula should be sheltering two such diverse objects as a pulsar and an X-ray source, and that the two should be entirely unconnected. —  Analog March, 1971
• While working at Arecibo in early 1992, Aleksander Wolszczan found the strongest evidence yet of planets outside the solar system - two planets orbiting around a pulsar, a rapidly spinning neutron star. —  Omni: December 1993
