"description": "Scientists studying what amounts to a computer-simulated “pulsar in a box” are gaining a more detailed understanding of the complex, high-energy environment around spinning neutron stars, also called pulsars. The model traces the paths of charged particles in magnetic and electric fields near the neutron star, revealing behaviors that may help explain how pulsars emit gamma-ray and radio pulses with ultraprecise timing.
A pulsar is the crushed core of a massive star that exploded as a supernova. The core is so compressed that more mass than the Sun's squeezes into a ball no wider than Manhattan Island in New York City. This process also revvs up its rotation and strengthens its magnetic and electric fields.
This visualization illustrates what the pulsar magnetic field would look like without the influence of the charged particles around it. The charged particles create currents which alter the magnetic field.",

"description": "Explore a new “pulsar in a box” computer simulation that tracks the fate of electrons (blue) and their antimatter kin, positrons (red), as they interact with powerful magnetic and electric fields around a neutron star. Lighter colors indicate higher particle energies. Each particle seen in this visualization actually represents trillions of electrons or positrons. Better knowledge of the particle environment around neutron stars will help astronomers understand how they produce precisely timed radio and gamma-ray pulses.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight CenterMusic: \"Reaching for the Horizon\" and \"Leaving Earth\" from Killer TracksWatch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available. || Pulsar_Still_1_print.jpg (1024x576) [436.1 KB] || Pulsar_Still_1.jpg (3840x2160) [4.5 MB] || Pulsar_Still_1_searchweb.png (320x180) [134.5 KB] || Pulsar_Still_1_thm.png (80x40) [9.1 KB] || 13058_Pulsar_Particle_Simulation_1080.webm (1920x1080) [25.8 MB] || 13058_Pulsar_Particle_Simulation_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [208.0 MB] || 13058_Pulsar_Particle_Simulation_H264_1080.mov (1920x1080) [313.3 MB] || 13058_Pulsar_Particle_Simulation_SRT_Captions.en_US.srt [3.7 KB] || 13058_Pulsar_Particle_Simulation_SRT_Captions.en_US.vtt [3.6 KB] || 13058_Pulsar_Particle_Simulation_2160.mp4 (3840x2160) [523.3 MB] || 13058_Pulsar_Particle_Simulation_ProRes_3840x2160_2997.mov (3840x2160) [10.6 GB] || ",
