Bell and Hewish's discovery was the first known evidence for this, and the pulsing signal source became known as a pulsar. They changed the name of the signal from LGM to CP, for Cambridge pulsar.

An approximately 14 million year old pulsar star that is the “slowest-spinning” of its kind ever identified has been discovered by a PhD student from The University of Manchester. Chia Min Tan, a PhD ...

Liu Kuo and Chen Siyuan part of multinational group that has won Royal Astronomical Society award for work on nanohertz gravitational waves.

His team successfully identified a signal with a statistical significance of about three sigma, meaning it was unlikely to be noise. The findings matched results from other pulsar timing ...
