AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on locating the pulsar originally designated as CP1133, which has been identified as PSR1133+16. It features a radio period of approximately 1.1879 seconds and is believed to be relatively close to Earth, at a distance of 130 parsecs. Participants share resources, including a link to a catalog that provides galactic coordinates and additional information about the pulsar. The complexity of the Simbad catalog is noted, highlighting the challenges in retrieving detailed physical parameters. The creator expresses gratitude for the assistance received and shares newfound insights from academic papers on PSR1133+16.

I'm still trying to locate a particular pulsar which had (in 1972) the original designation CP1133. :confused:

Does anyone here happen to have a catalog or reference which will allow me to find which pulsar (or the current designation & info on such pulsar) that had an original (early 1970's) designation as CP1133 ?

This pulsar had a radio period of about 1 hertz; specifically 1.1879 sec.
I believe it was relatively close to earth.

Thanks,

Creator

Much Thanks Meteor! I had no idea that Sten Odenwald had 'my' pulsar by some coincidence in his book. (How'd you ever come up with that cross-reference?) In the mean time I had also received an e-mail from a NASA site manager identifying it as PSR1133+16 from a search he did on the internet catalog 'Simbad'. However, Simbad seems so complex you'd need to take a six month course ( exagerating :wink: ) just to figure how to do a search for other physical parameters. You have supplied a pertinent one , distance... 130 parsecs.
However, I'd like to get any other particulars that may be available.
Thanks again.

OK, now that I have the correct designation, I was able to find some further references on papers concerning PSR1133+16's single pulse characteristics, (from the Astophysical Journal,etc.); interesting. :cool:

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
