In its work, the researchers used a pulse distortion pulsar radiation as it passes through the space between stars and galaxies , which is a medium silnorazrezhennuyu charged particles. Analyzing individual distortion from radiation object astrophysicists able to reconstruct the dynamics of flows of its radiation in general.
Pulsar B0834 +06 , we have found that the amount of space radiation from the star is smaller than previously thought , and probably is closer to the surface. The scientists compared their accuracy achieved with an accuracy at which the Earth can be discerned with a double structure of the DNA molecule , located on the moon.
It is believed that pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron star , the magnetic field lines are inclined to the axis of rotation of the star . Such objects are sources of a focused strong radiation , because the star's rotation latching external observer in the form of periodic pulses. Depending on the wavelength distinguish pulsars , X-ray and optical pulsars . In the case of X-ray pulsar emission is due to accretion companion star , while the pulsar emits its own energy.
Due to the small size of neutron stars (about one or more kilometers ) for their observations using high-precision telescopes . In their study, the researchers used a very long baseline radio interferometry . This method uses several telescopes located at considerable distances ( thousands of kilometers) from each other.
The emission mechanism of pulsars so far, since opening in 1967 of the first radio pulsar PSR J1921 +2153 in the constellation Vulpecula , remains unclear. In its work, astronomers were able to improve the accuracy of determining the parameters of the pulsar is a million times compared with previous research results .
