Through a quirk of geometry and processes\nnot full y understood\, they appear to us on Earth\, in some cases\, as\n'pulsars\, ' or stars that flash on and off regularly. The pulsar\neffect is similar to that of a lighthouse: we observe a pulse each\ntime the star rotates. H owever in addition to this literal analogy\,\nobservations of pulsars shed figurative light onto some of the most\nvexing problems in fundamental ph ysics. In this lecture\, Prof.\nKaspi will describe the astonishing proper ties of pulsars\, as well\nas how observations of these amazing objects he lp to constrain\nseveral interesting aspects of physics of extreme environ ments.\n \nTo Infinity and Beyond: Space\, Stars & the Universe\nbrings yo u the latest in space exploration by top 91ºÚÁÏÍø\nresearchers and alumnus i n this unique multi-disciplinary lecture\nseries. The topic of Mini-Scienc e 2009 is particularly appropriate\n– the United Nations having proclaimed 2009 the International Year\nof Astronomy (IYA2009) in commemoration of t he first astronomical\nuse of the telescope in 1609.\n DTSTART:20091214T150000Z DTEND:20091214T160000Z SUMMARY:Broadcast -- Mini-Science - Neutron Stars: Lighthouses of the Cosmo s URL:/channels/event/broadcast-mini-science-neutron-sta rs-lighthouses-cosmos-112708 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
