Pulsar P4 Time Computer with LED display ref. 3215-2 mens stainless steel watch circa 1975 Made in the USA A Pulsar LED watch from 1976. In 1970, Pulsar was a brand of the American Hamilton Watch Company which first announced that it was making and bringing the LED watch to market. It was developed jointly by American companies Hamilton and ...
Button, coin, or watch cells. A button cell, watch battery, or coin battery is a small battery made of a single electrochemical cell and shaped as a squat cylinder typically 5 to 25 mm (0.197 to 0.984 in) in diameter and 1 to 6 mm (0.039 to 0.236 in) high – resembling a button.
The first pulsar clock in the world was installed in St Catherine's Church, Gdańsk, Poland, in 2011. [1] It was the first clock to count the time using a signal source outside the Solar System, and represents the second type of clock to measure time using a signal source outside the Earth, after sundials.

The key property of a pulsar timing array is that the signal from a stochastic GW background will be correlated across the sightlines of pulsar pairs, while that from the other noise processes will not. [9] In the literature, this spatial correlation curve is called the Hellings-Downs curve or the overlap reduction function. [10]
The change happens on a few seconds timescale, far faster than most pulsars. Despite being one of the first pulsars discovered, the mechanism for its unusual behavior is unknown. [9] In 2006, a research group from Peking University published a paper suggesting that the pulsar may actually be a low-mass quark star with mass around 0.02 M ☉. [11]
The parabola illustrates the theoretically expected change according to general relativity. The Hulse–Taylor pulsar (known as PSR B1913+16, PSR J1915+1606 or PSR 1913+16) is a binary star system composed of a neutron star and a pulsar which orbit around their common center of mass. It is the first binary pulsar ever discovered.
