Researchers measure magnetic field in eclipse medium of a spider pulsar PSR J2051-0827
The polarization properties of PSR J2051-0827 vs. orbital. Credit: XAO Spider pulsars are a subclass of millisecond pulsar binary systems with low mass companions in short-period orbits. In spider pulsars, the pulsar wind and electromagnetic emission ablate and may destroy the companion. Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
