Neutron star had large magnetic fields, then electromagnetic waves would be emitted. Unbeknown to him, radio astronomer Antony Hewish and his research assistant Jocelyn Bell at Cambridge were shortly to detect radio pulses from stars that are now believed to be highly magnetized, rapidly spinning neutron stars, known as pulsars. In 1965, Antony Hewish and Samuel Okoye discovered "an unusual source of high radio brightness temperature in the Crab Nebula". This source turned out to be the Crab Pulsar that resulted from the great supernova of 1054. In 1967, Iosif Shklovsky examined the X-ray and optical observations of Scorpius X-1 and correctly
Canadian Neutron Beam Centre suite of 6 beamlines at the CNBC. The neutron beam laboratory known as Canadian Neutron Beam Centre was transferred from AECL to the National Research Council in 1997. The NRU reactor, closed in March 2018, was a multi-purpose research reactor that supported science and industry in three areas simultaneously: 1. It was Canada's only major neutron source, supplying neutrons for the CNBC. 2. It was Canada's only major materials testing reactor, supporting nuclear energy research and development. 3. It was one of the two largest global producers of medical radioisotopes. Canadian Neutron Beam Centre The NRC Canadian Neutron Beam Centre
