Programmes about physics, discovering pulsars, sexism in science and radio astronomy.
They may also discover pulsars and exploding primordial black holes, both of which would emit brief wideband pulses.
DENSE STARS 99 Jocelyn Bell got her Ph.D. (and Hewish later received a Nobel Prize) chiefly for discovering pulsars; I got my Ph.D. partly for proving that pulsars could not possibly be pulsating white dwarf stars.
It was like when the radio astronomers discovered pulsars, remember?
Bell noted that other scientists could have discovered pulsars before her, but their observations were either ignored or disregarded.
While a student at Cambridge University, Prof. Jocelyn Bell discovered pulsars, the stars that emit pulsating radio waves; the committee gave the prize to her male professors.
Historically, pulsars have been discovered at radio wavelengths where emission is strong, but space telescopes that operate in the gamma ray wavelengths have also discovered pulsars.
What was the process for discovering pulsars?
