PSR B0943+10 [SEP] constellation
PSR B0943+10
PSR B0943+10 is a pulsar 2,000 light years from Earth in the direction of the constellation of Leo.
Description.
The pulsar is estimated to be 5 million years old, which is relatively old for a pulsar. It has a rotational period of 1.1 seconds and emits both radio waves and X-rays. 
Ongoing research at the University of Vermont discovered that the pulsar was found to flip on a roughly a few hours timescale between a radio bright mode with highly organized pulsations and
. The pulsar is extremely hot, with a surface temperature of up to around 28,856 K. It formed about one to three billion years ago as the result of a white dwarf transforming into a rapidly spinning neutron star during the process of two white dwarfs merging with each other.
The discovery stimulated a search for planets orbiting other pulsars, but it turned out such planets are rare; only four other pulsar planets, orbiting PSR B1620−26, PSR B0943+10, and PSR B0329+54, have been confirmed.
