| Description |
Pulsars are most famous as radio sources, but they emit light across the full spectrum, clear up through X-rays and gamma rays. We are using the Parkes telescope and the NICER X-ray observatory, on the International Space Station, to study a millisecond pulsar with both radio waves and X-rays. The radio waves are bent and slowed by the electrons in the space between the earth and the star, while the X-rays go straight through. Since we know the direct path from the X-rays, the radio measurements let us know exactly how the electrons affect the radio waves.
