Scientists Identify Millisecond Pulsar PSR J0435+3233, Challenging Accretion-Driven Paradigm of Pulsar Formation
Apr 14, 2026
A research team led by Prof. WANG Na from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has conducted in-depth observations of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0435+3233 using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The team found that PSR J0435+3233 has a high spin-down rate—two orders of magnitude greater than that of any other known millisecond pulsar in the Milky Way.
