    Evidence for three-dimensional spin–velocity alignment in a pulsar

    More than 50 years after the discovery of pulsars1 and confirmation of their association with supernova explosions24, the origin of the initial spin and velocity of pulsars remains largely a mystery. The typical...

    New phase-coherent measurements of pulsar braking indices

    Pulsar braking indices offer insight into the physics that underlies pulsar spin-down. Only five braking indices have been measured via phase-coherent timing; all measured values are less than 3, the value ex...

    Pulsars

    The discovery of pulsars by astronomers at the University of Cambridge, England, during 1967 (Hewish et al., 1968) was one of the more exciting events in astronomy of recent years. The very unusual properties of ...
