This mechanism is only partially understood, but is connected with very strong magnetic fields spinning with the star. This book presents and discusses current research in the study of pulsars, including changes in the orbital periods of binary pulsars; pulsar distances and the electron distribution in the galaxy; magnetic field evolution through pulsar glitches; natal pulsar kicks; particle acceleration in pulsar outer magnetospheres and accretion-driven millisecond x-ray pulsars. 410 0$aSpace science, exploration and policies series. 606 $aPulsars 615 0$aPulsars. 676 $a523.8/874 701 $aTravelle$b Peter A$01869447 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960747603321 996 $aPulsars$94477619 997 $aUNINA
