The first pulsar was found by Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Antony Hewish in July 1967.
Because they had not idea what they had discovered they called the new object LGM-1, for "little green men". It was later determined to be a pulsar [See related question]. Their pulsar was later dubbed CP 1919, and is now known by a number of other designators.

∙ 13y agoThe first pulsar discovered was CP1919 [See related link]. Better known as LGM-1 for "Little Green Men" as it was believed that the pulses it gave off could only have come from an extraterrestrial intelligent source.

Who was the female british astronomer who helped discover pulsars?
Pulsars were discovered by accident in 1967 when Jocelyn Bell, working with Antony Hewish were looking for twinkling sources of radio radiation.
Are pulsars found in supernova remnants.?
Yes. All pulsars and neutron stars are the remnants of a supernova explosion.
How does a pulsar affect the solar system?
Pulsars are stars which emit a large amount of electromagnetic radiation. Unfortunately, science has yet to determine how Pulsars affect our own solar system. They were first discovered in 1967, and since then many theories have been formulated regarding their affects, which include climatic changes upon planets and changes within nearby stars.
Scientists now believe that atoms are made up of smaller elementary particles call 'pulsars' or 'quarks'?
Pulsars --------------------------------------------Correction Pulsars are neutron stars that emit pulsating EM radiation at predictable frequencies. Obviously neutrons stars (something massive stars can collapse into when they die) are not the elementary particles of the universe. Therefore, 'quarks'.
What special name is given to spinning stars that transmit radio waves?
Pulsars
Who was the female british astronomer who helped discover pulsars?
Pulsars were discovered by accident in 1967 when Jocelyn Bell, working with Antony Hewish were looking for twinkling sources of radio radiation.
Outline how pulsars are detected?
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.
What was discovered recently DNA pulsars quasars atomic power or radio waves?
None of them. They were all discovered a good many years ago.
Which was discovered most recently DNA atomic power radio waves or pulsars and quasars?
pulsar and quasars
What are waves given off by pulsars called?
The only all-inclusive thing you can say about them is that they're electromagnetic. The first pulsars discovered, in the late 1960s, were detected in radio wavelengths. But many others have been discovered since then that pulse in gamma rays, visible light, and X-rays.
When did The Pulsars end?
The Pulsars ended in 2000.
When was The Pulsars created?
The Pulsars was created in 1994.
How are pulsars related to supernovas?
Pulsars are created by supernovae.
How do you use pulsars in a sentence?
Pulsars are studied by astronomers.
Where are pulsars located in space?
Pulsars are located every where around the universe keep in mind pulsars are neutron stars so that means they were formed by large stars that have aged and died out
Are pulsars found in supernova remnants.?
Yes. All pulsars and neutron stars are the remnants of a supernova explosion.
