Pulsars are detected by their regular pulses of radiation -
hence the name. If I remember correctly, that is radio waves.
Before the nature of pulsars was known, the first pulsars
discovered were named LGM-1, LGM-2, LGM-3, and LGM-4 - where LGM is
short for "little green men". An astronomers' joke.
