There’s something rhythmic signal that is coming through the white noise of galaxy and register equipment, that can remind you a voice that you can hear through the tree crowns of the dark forest. This signal is registered in radio range and looks like artificial signal. Noise and signal, chaos and structure. This signal comes from astronomical objects, that we call Radio pulsars.
Radio pulsars - this is rapidly turning mixing neutron stars, that have so small diameters but big mass and with over strong magnetic field. At the beginning people were talking about them theoretical, but then after some decades scientists opened tham like real objects of the space.
In the learning process our vision is playing a big role except other organs. 80%-90% information we take because of our eyes. Vision forms are usually prevailing over auditory, tactile, gustatory and other forms, and at the the same time vision forms are more objective.Because man always needs to visualize inner feelings, in add theoretical and practical information as well.
That’s why scientist in the process of analysis is trying to create visual models - we mean intermediate images, that can help us to see the modifications in amounts of information. Of course, this images can’t show us how look this object at all, but can demonstrate the various properties of this object. This images are creating like an ideal form of the object that we learn, and that always seek to reality. In add these images are participated in engage of the practical and theoretical knowledges.
For this project Andrey Kazancev - a radio astronomer, officer of the Radio Astronomy Observatory by Pushin, threw the series of dynamic ranges of different profiles of radio pulsars. In these images were using the real data that were taking from the Big Cophase Antenna (BCA). They show us the changing of the radio pulses in time. This intermediate stage an attempt to see what we can’t and imagine the elusive pulse of the distant stars.
