Glowing Auroras: A Fascinating Phenomenon on Pulsar-Orbiting Planets

Researchers suggest that exoplanets orbiting pulsars may exhibit auroras, similar to those seen on Earth. Pulsars are remnants of massive stars that have exploded, leaving behind rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit radiation. By simulating the magnetic environment of pulsars and their planets, scientists have found that these auroras may be detectable using current radio telescope technology. The study focused on millisecond pulsars and their potential planetary companions, showing that the radio emissions from these systems could be observed.
