[Bwaaam] The only way these readings make
sense is if this pulsar is orbiting a star.
We've never seen one in an orbit this long. The binary
companion is one of the brightest stars in our galaxy, and the pulsar is going to
pass incredibly close to it! This pulsar has been
accelerating for the last ten years, and it's still speeding up.

When it passes through the companion star's disk, we're gonna see some serious
gamma-ray emission. Fermi will be watching in
gamma rays. It has the tools.
[Music]
There's so much we can learn from this.
