Torres<\/strong> is one of the main authors of the study. Researchers from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.njnu.edu.cn\/\">Nanjing Normal University<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.cas.cn\/\">Chinese Academy of Sciences<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/english.pku.edu.cn\/\">Peking University<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inaf.it\/en?set_language=en\">Istituto Nazionale Di Astrofisica<\/a> (INAF), among others, also participate in the study.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<em>LS I 61 303<\/em> is a peculiar stellar system, as it is one of the few known gamma-ray binary systems. These are systems that emit most of its luminosity at very high energies and consist of a massive star and a compact object, which can be either a black hole or a neutron star. In 2006, gamma-ray emission from this source was detected with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magic.iac.es\/\">MAGIC<\/a> telescope. However, this was a continuous emission, making it impossible to identify the system nature.<\/p>\n<p>Now, thanks to the high sensitivity of the FAST radio telescope, <strong>scientists have been able to find, for the first time, pulsations from the <em>LS I 61 303<\/em> system at radio wavelengths<\/strong>. These periodic emissions prove that the compact object that makes up the system is a rotating neutron star.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These findings are the result of a long effort to find pulsations at all frequencies,&rdquo; explains researcher Diego F. Torres. &ldquo;My group and I have carried out many of those searches ourselves, in X-rays, hard X-rays and high-energy gamma rays. But it was a difficult task: we were not just trying to detect a pulsar that is not particularly bright, but one for which pulsations are not permanently there,&rdquo; he adds.<\/p>\n<p>The pulsations detected from this source are not constant, but appear and disappear instead, being inactive most of the time. This could explain why it has taken so many years to detect them. <strong>The variability of the periodic emission is one of the most intriguing aspects of the results<\/strong>, as the reason for this intermittency is not clear, although this phenomenon is relatively common and has been observed in other pulsars.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Torres also shows a special interest in the found period of the pulsations from a theoretical point of view. The pulsar&#39;s period, which is 0.26 seconds, is in the range predicted by a multi-frequency model he developed himself in 2012, together with other ICE researchers. In this model, the system transits between two states along its orbit, depending on the mass pressure around it, which explains the long-term multi-frequency recurrences. <strong>The measurement of the current period makes this possibility even more interesting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The system <em>LS I 61 303<\/em> had also shown to have super-orbital variability and magnetic flares. Now that its pulsations have been measured, <em>LS I 61 303<\/em> is <strong>the first known binary system to have a magnetar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About FAST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The FAST telescope is the largest open-dish radio telescope on Earth, with an antenna 500 metres in diameter. It is located in southwest China and started taking data in 2019. Its sensitivity may have been crucial in detecting the faint pulses from the pulsar in the <em>LS I 61 303<\/em> system.<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>Press release made in collaboration with the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Main Image<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Artist&#39;s impression of the binary star system <em>LS I 61 303<\/em> shining over the FAST telescope.<br \/>\nCredit: D.F.
