Astronomers Have Devised PulChron System Which Investigates Time Studying Radio Pulses of Neutron Stars

This pulsar, named SXP 1062, lies in the edges of the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the satellite cosmic galaxies of our Milky Way galaxy. It is an item known as a X-beam pulsar: it ravenously eats up material from a close-by partner star and burps off X-beams as it does as such. Later on, this scene may turn out to be considerably increasingly sensational, as SXP 1062 has a gigantic sidekick…

ESA began experimenting with a new type of clock called PulChron based on pulsars. Activated at the end of November 2018, this system is based on the impulses generated by these neutron stars that spin very rapidly in extremely precise times. 18 pulsars monitored with various radio telescopes were used for the measurements, which provide extremely accurate time references for various purposes such as verifying the performance of the Galileo European navigation system's satellites.

Attivato alla fine del novembre 2018, questo sistema si basa sugli impulsi generati da queste stelle di neutroni che ruotano molto rapidamente su se stesse in tempi estremamente precisi. 18 pulsar monitorate con vari radiotelescopi sono state usate per le misurazioni, che offrono riferimenti temporali estremamente precisi per vari scopi come verificare le prestazioni dei satelliti del sistema di navigazione europeo Galileo.

De Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA heeft in haar onderzoekscentrum ESTEC in Noordwijk sinds kort een klok lopen, wiens tijdmeting gebaseerd is op pulsars, snel ronddraaiende neutronensterren in het heelal. Het ‘PulChron’ systeem bevindt zich in de Galileo Timing and Geodetic…
