Millisecond pulsar rotates hundreds of times per second and is the first of its type encountered in the Glimpse-C01 star cluster, reported in The International News.
A developing twisting neutron star that cleans rays of radiation like a cosmic lighthouse, across the galaxy has been uncovered by a US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Remote Sensing Division intern Amaris McCarver and a group of astronomers.

“Underneath the thick star cluster Glimpse-C01, the developing twisting neutron star or “pulsar” is found. This star cluster poses in the galactic plane of the Milky Way nearly 10,700 light-years from Earth,” reported Space.
Additionally, this millisecond pulsar is one of the foremost of its type located in the Glimpse-C01 star cluster and it twists hundreds of times per second. On February 27, 2021, the pulsar specified as GLIMPSE-C01A was smudged by the very large Array (VLA). However, it stayed squelched in an extensive quantity of data until in the summer of 2023, McCarver and associates encountered it.
While researching photos from the VLA’s Low-band Ionosphere and Transient Experiment (VLITE) to pursue advanced pulsars in 97-star collections, McCarver and her colleagues located the entity.
“It was exciting so early in my career to see a speculative project work out so successfully,” McCarver, one of 16 interns in the Radio, Infrared, Optical Sensors Branch at NRL DC, claimed in a proclamation.
