| Description |
Millisecond pulsars are neutron stars that weigh more than the sun, are smaller than your capital city and spin faster than your kitchen blender. Rotating once every few milliseconds, their lighthouse beam of radio waves is detected by the Parkes telescope as a train of pulses. By studying these amazing and exotic objects we hope to understand more about how these unusual stars came to be and probe the fundamental physics that governs the Universe.
