ABSTRACT

The star’s flare up, taking place in the sky the southern horn of the constellation Taurus, the Chinese described as six times brighter than Venus and about as brilliant as the full Moon. Some neutron stars, such as the Crab, emit radiation that appears to pulse on and off like a lighthouse beacon. The pulsation gives radio astronomers an immediate handle on the determination of the rotational frequency of a rotating neutron star. Some neutron stars, such as the Crab, emit radiation that appears to pulse on and off like a lighthouse beacon. The detection of strange drops in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is conceptually rather simple, because of the drop’s low Z/A ratio. More sophisticated horizon scanning techniques already typify the approach of successful strategic leaders in all sectors. Acting as a celestial power station, the rotating neutron star in Crab generates enough energy to keep the entire nebula radiating over almost the whole electromagnetic spectrum and make it expand.
