Introduction to general relativity this energy loss would be too small to be detectable, but this energy loss was observed in 1974 in a binary pulsar called PSR1913+16. In such a system, one of the orbiting stars is a pulsar. This has two consequences: a pulsar is an extremely dense object known as a neutron star, for which gravitational wave emission is much stronger than for ordinary stars. Also, a pulsar emits a narrow beam of electromagnetic radiation from its magnetic poles. As the pulsar rotates, its beam sweeps over the Earth, where it is seen as a regular series of radio pulses, just
Beam tracing acoustic modelling and electromagnetic propagation modelling. In both of these applications, beams are used as an efficient way to track deep reflections from a source to a receiver (or vice versa). Beams can provide a convenient and compact way to represent visibility. Once a beam tree has been calculated, one can use it to readily account for moving transmitters or receivers. Beam tracing is related in concept to cone tracing. Beam tracing Beam tracing is an algorithm to simulate wave propagation. It was developed in the context of computer graphics to render 3D scenes, but it has been also used
