Unraveling the Mystery of Pulsars: From LGM-1 to Astrophysical Laboratories

Join us on a journey through the history of pulsar research, from the discovery of the mysterious LGM-1 signal to the modern day, where pulsars have become invaluable tools for studying the universe. Learn how these highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars are formed, how they emit beams of electromagnetic radiation, and how they can be used to probe the properties of matter at extreme densities. We'll also explore the role of pulsars in testing theories of gravity and in the search for gravitational waves. Come discover the wonders of pulsars, the astrophysical laboratories of the cosmos!
