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 Canadian Neutron Beam Centre The NRC Canadian Neutron Beam Centre (CNBC) is Canada's national user facility that enables researchers to use neutron beams as tools for world-class materials research. The CNBC is located at Chalk River Laboratories, where Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) owns and operates the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor. CNBC has been a global leader in the development of materials and products for businesses. Like most other neutron beam laboratories, the CNBC operates beamlines as a service to external researchers. In a typical year, about 250 individuals participate in research that relies on access to its
