Pulsar planets are planets that are orbiting pulsars. The first such planets to be discovered were around a millisecond pulsar in 1992 and were the first extrasolar planets to be confirmed as discovered. Pulsars are extremely precise clocks and even small planets can create detectable variations in pulsar traits; the smallest-known exoplanet is ...
PSR B1257+12 c, alternatively designated PSR B1257+12 B, also named Poltergeist, is an extrasolar planet approximately 2,300 light-years away [3] in the constellation of Virgo. It was one of the first planets ever discovered outside the Solar System, [4] [5] and is one of three pulsar planets known to be orbiting the pulsar Lich.
PSR B1257+12, previously designated PSR 1257+12, alternatively designated PSR J1300+1240, [6] is a millisecond pulsar, 2,300 light-years (710 parsecs) from the Sun, in the constellation Virgo, rotating at about 161 times per second (faster than the blade of a blender). [1]
PSR B1257+12 b, alternatively designated PSR B1257+12 A, also named Draugr, is an extrasolar planet approximately 2,300 light-years (710 pc) away [4] in the constellation of Virgo. The planet is the innermost object orbiting the pulsar Lich, making it a pulsar planet in the dead stellar system.
PSR B1620-26 b orbits a pair of stars.The primary star, PSR B1620-26, is a pulsar, a neutron star spinning at 100 revolutions per second, with a mass of 1.34 M ☉, a likely radius of around 20 kilometers (0.00003 R ☉) and a likely temperature less than or equal to 300,000 K.
