PSR J1614–2230 PSR J1614–2230 PSR J1614–2230 is a neutron star in a binary system with a white dwarf. It was discovered in 2006 with the Parkes telescope in a survey of unidentified gamma ray sources in the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope catalog. PSR J1614–2230 is a millisecond pulsar, a type of neutron star, that spins on its axis roughly 317 times per second, corresponding to a period of 3.15 milliseconds. Like all pulsars, it emits radiation in a beam, similar to a lighthouse. Emission from PSR J1614–2230 is observed as pulses at the spin period of PSR J1614–2230. The pulsed nature
POlarization Emission of Millimeter Activity at the Sun of observing at 45 and 90 GHz comes from the necessity to determine the "upturn" frequency in the so-called "THz events": if the main radiation mechanism is synchrotron radiation from accelerated electrons emitting at chromospheric or coronal heights, it is expected a spectrum with a long and descending logarithmic tail towards millimeter wavelengths. In some cases this classical ("textbook") shape is broken and an "upturn" or "spectral reversion" is observed. Since the reversion or "upturn" frequency has been estimated around 50 to 100 GHz for the observed cases, the importance of POEMAS is justified. POlarization Emission of Millimeter Activity at
