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.

What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Are pulsars found in supernova remnants.?
Yes, pulsars are often found in supernova remnants. Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation, and they are formed when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion. The remnants of the supernova provide the environment from which the pulsar originates.
Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation called?
Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation are known as pulsars. Pulsars rotate rapidly and emit beams of electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles, which are observed as regular pulses when they sweep across the Earth.
Are quasars and pulsars visible to the naked eye?
No, quasars and pulsars are not visible to the naked eye from Earth. Quasars are extremely distant and faint celestial objects, while pulsars are neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation which are not usually visible to the human eye. Both require specialized equipment for observation.
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.
What was discovered recently DNA pulsars quasars atomic power or radio waves?
None of them. They were all discovered a good many years ago.
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.
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 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
How are pulsars related to supernovas?
Pulsars are formed during a supernova event when a massive star explodes, leaving behind a dense core called a neutron star. As this neutron star rotates rapidly, it emits beams of radiation that we detect as pulses, hence the name "pulsars." So, pulsars are directly related to the remnants of supernova explosions.
What has the author Marta Burgay written?
Marta Burgay has written: 'Radio pulsars' -- subject(s): Pulsars, Congresses
Are pulsars a kind of neutron star?
Pulsars are not only a kind of neutron star, they are neutron stars. See related question.
