A research team led by Gregory Desvignes from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, has used radio observations of the source PSR J1906+0746 to reconstruct the polarised emission over the pulsar&#8217;s magnetic pole and to predict the disappearance of the detectable emission by 2028. Observations of this system confirm the validity of a 50-year old model that relates the pulsar&#8217;s radiation to its geometry. The researchers are also able to precisely measure the rate of change in spin direction and find an excellent agreement with the predictions of Einstein&#8217;s general theory of relativity.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-09-radio-emission-neutron-star-magnetic.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Radio emission from a neutron star&#8217;s magnetic pole revealed by General Relativity<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pulsars in binary systems are affected by relativistic effects, causing the spin axes of each pulsar to change their direction with time.
