Abstract
THE remarkable and unexpected increase in the pulsation rate1–3 of PSR 0833–45 (refs. 4 and 5) has obvious significance for models of the pulsar time-keeping mechanism. What may not be quite so apparent is that this discovery could be of importance in elucidating the possible role of pulsars in the production of cosmic rays6,7.
