J0437-4715

J0437-4715 is a nearby, rapidly spinning neutron star, called a millisecond pulsar. It emits precise beams of radio waves that sweep across Earth, allowing scientists to study extreme physics and test theories of gravity. This pulsar is one of the closest and brightest known, making it a key object for research. It spins hundreds of times per second, and its stability provides valuable data for understanding ultra-dense matter, gravitational waves, and the universe's fundamental laws. Observations of J0437-4715 help improve navigation and timing technologies and deepen our knowledge of the cosmos.
